Moved to mainspace by Schminnte (talk). Self-nominated at 16:07, 6 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Doug McKechnie; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough, long enough. Hook short enough and sourced (as is every paragraph). No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ done. Good to go.--Laun chba ller 13:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
