Overall: Zuver meets all the criteria (albeit barely, as the length is only a couple of letters over the limit - expansion would be nice but is not required). BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:24, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Englemann meets all the criteria (just passes the length requirement - though further expansion is not required, I see a few additional details you might want to add from the German Wikipedia of all places, including that he narrowly missed qualifying for the 1928 Olympics and was inducted into the South Dakota Hall of Fame).

After further review, this DYK nomination is good! Each article appears to meet all the criteria, and thus this nomination appears ready to go! Nice work. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:59, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Three FAs is more than I have ever done, and you did it in a month!! Awesome job. Thanks for the review! It's short and sweet. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 20:56, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Prose good. Sources generally reliable and verify the content. The elephant in the room, which I think might be the reason this hasn't been reviewed, is the short bit of the "short and sweet"—at 1514 bytes, it would be somewhere around the 35th shortest GA.I know that the GA criteria do say that the "broad coverage" criterion is much weaker than the "comprehensiveness" of FAs, but I do think it would be a good idea to be as comprehensive as possible with an article this short. Good thing is that I did see some stuff in the sources that could be added, for example:
[1] says he also attended Notre Dame
[3] makes numerous references to his size (and in fact gives exact numbers!) and also says that his government job was to do with harbour survey and research
[4] says that he offered to play only Sundays when he took up the harbour job, but the coach rejected it because he wanted players to train
Might also want to mention his career NFL statistics in the body?
