Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Franz Josef Altenburg
Comment: Brand new article with interesting mix between legal, mental health and immigration appeals work, and the deep study of a poet, and publication of new work (I started the article after editing the poet's article). I think I will find more potential with a little more searching.

Created by SeoR (talk). Self-nominated at 10:13, 15 September 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Hi SeoR, review follows: article created 15 September and exceeds minimum length; it is cited inline throughout to reliable sources (the charity Hope for Youth (NI) is probably the weakest but looks acceptable to me); I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing from the sources cited; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Interesting chap, I added a little on his brief army career - Dumelow (talk) 10:36, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dumelow, many thanks for a speedy review. And even more for finding additional sources already - I see the transition Cadet > 2Lieut and then the Reserve, excellent. Yes, clearly an interesting fellow, looks like he worked the Old Bailey and Woolwich circuit for nearly 50 years, in multiple capacities, and took time to collect art, and write, and help run that charity (I agree, not a 100% neutral source, but I found their obit a good gathering of materials which were individually elsewhere too). I saw a mention of politics somewhere, and will check that and court lists for further points. SeoR (talk) 11:09, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested to include[edit]

Dunn sought a nomination to run for MP from NI to Westminster a couple of times in the 60’s. Then there’s the Pele business, not sure if that is not too light for Wikipedia?
