I'll take this review, I'll try to get started on it in the next couple days. Hog Farm (talk) 21:35, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Lead "He then briefly led to Manresa Institute on Staten Island" - What does this mean?

That was a typo. Fixed. Ergo Sum 15:57, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Education and early career - Simon Aichner is a redlink. Is this guy notable? If so, the redlink should be left to encourage article creation, but if he's not likely to pass GNG, the wikilinks should probably be removed.

Yes, by virtue of being a prince-bishop, he was notable. Ergo Sum 15:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Construction of a new campus - Same redlink thing with William F. Gannon As the president of a major university, I wouldn't be surprised if Gannon is notable. Any relation to Thomas Gannon?

Yup, same basis of notability: holding a prominent office. N.B. one's last name is Gasson and the other's is Gannon. Ergo Sum 15:59, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Later years - "where he worked various jobs,[16] including serving as the graduate dean of sociology from 1914 to 1923" Is the second half of this sentence cited in source 16? If so, the citation should be at the end of the sentence. If not, citation needed.

I just verified that FN 16 does not cover the second half of the sentence. Ergo Sum 16:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

External links - See Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#Find a Grave. It's strongly suggested that you only include this as an external link if it brings something especially unique to the page, which it doesn't seem to. I'd recommend removal unless a strong rationale can be made for keeping this link.

The only thing it adds is his place of burial, which I cannot add to the article itself because the only source I'm able to find for this is Find a Grave. Ergo Sum 16:03, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Images appear to be fine, and the sources look reliable. Checking for COPYVIO and then that's it for this review.

@Hog Farm: Thank you for your review. Ergo Sum 16:06, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ergo Sum: Just get a citation for the second half of that one sentence, and this one will be good. I'm fine with Find a Grave since you think it adds something extra. Hog Farm (talk) 19:11, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: The second half is covered by the citation at the end of the paragraph. Ergo Sum 19:24, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ergo Sum: Okay, I'll pass it as GA now. Great work! Hog Farm (talk) 19:35, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
