Article was nominated within the relevant window and is long enough (extensive quotations do make that a bit hazy, but they're used appropriately). Earwig suggest that there was likely a problem regarding copyright, but a manual check suggested that it was all appropriate quotations and names giving false positives. No images (I think you could add the Texas star in there somewhere!). Not a barrier to running, but the infobox accepts his death as being in Calcutta despite the possibility that it was in Hong Kong; consider providing both possibilities there. Overall, a swell little article—good work! Preference is for ALT1 on basis of it being more interesting to me. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! An image with the star has been added now. I believe that Calcutta is more likely to be the place of his death than Hong Kong because Brown only gives a scant mention of Teulon and the other source seems to be much more certain. Aneirinn (talk) 05:29, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
  - Reiterating that we're good to go here. Excellent work, Aneirinn, and thank you for the explanation! ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:14, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
