  • The article is new enough and long enough. A QPQ has been done and I didn't find any close paraphrasing. Given that all of the sources are offline, I am assuming good faith on their reliability. The hook fact is cited inline, but only partially: the 38 new species of tarantula is cited, but not that he died at the age of 46 (indeed, no source is provided for either his date of birth or his date of death).

Thanks for the edit; however, as "age 46" is part of the hook, the reference needs to be duplicated at the sentence that goes but died of lung disease a year later at the age of 46 as well. In addition, the last paragraph of the "Life and career" section could be reworded since the word "tarantula" is repeated in relatively quick succession.

  • Thanks, this should be good to go now. There's just one last comment: the "Anton Ausserer's life was short, busy and full of hardship" phrase doesn't sound encyclopedic (it sounds like something you'd see in an obituary or a tribute, not an encyclopedia) so it probably needs to be removed, but it's a minor issue that shouldn't hold up the nom.
