New and long enough, neutral, no copyvios issues. Hook is interesting and otherwise meets the basic criteria. I have a couple of concerns. First, the information about his sister is unsourced. As this has to do with biographical information about a living person, could you attempt to find a source for that piece of information or remove it from the article? Second, the source that you provided for your hook states that he is only allowed to work with supervision as part of postgraduate study, which isn't clearly represented in the article. It would appear more accurate to consider him a medical student than a full family doctor at this time. Do you have an additional source that supports him fully practicing? If not, the information in the article and the hook may need to be slightly changed. ~ RobTalk 07:35, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- I believe that this reference addresses both of your concerns (see occupation & family ties sections near the bottom). I had put this link at the end of the sentence that has the hook. I actually added the CPSA reference later to beef up the reference that he is in fact a doctor mid-sentence. I'm tempted to move this reference to the end of the sentence, so that both DYK hook references are together. Also, for clarity, I've wikilinked Residency (medicine). From the wiki article, it states "A resident physician... is a person who has received the title of "physician" (usually a M.D., D.O., or MBBS, MBChB, BMed)... who practices medicine usually in a hospital or clinic." We could update the hook to clarify that is a resident physician, but I believe that the hook is still technically correct and more flashy without the clarification. I didn't explicitly include the reference again for his sister, since it is the very next sentence in the paragraph. I normally would have put the reference after this sentence, since it backs up the previous two sentences. I put it after the hook, since that is a requirement for a DYK nomination. -- JamesTeterenko (talk) 14:30, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
I added the extra reference. While it's perfectly fine to include a reference at the end of multiple sentences that supports all sentences before it, it's somewhat unusual to place one at the beginning to cover further sentences, and I believe it could cause some confusion. You cleared up my concern about the physician designation. ~ RobTalk 16:34, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
