• Article meets length, newness, and sourcing requirements. QPQ done. The only interesting hook is Alt2, but it's really just a list of famous people. Are there no better suggestions? Or Alt1, which has some interest, could be made more hook-y by bumping the bold link up to "(+once) referred to" and ditching everything after the quotation. Kingsif (talk) 07:08, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
