  • Definitely an interesting and neutral hook, article is more than long enough, and was created less than a week before its nomination. The citation used is offline and I don't have access to that, though will assume good faith that the hook doesn't have any copyvios and is supported by the given ref. It seems credible from what I can tell. QPQ has also been provided. Definitely can have this on the front page for his deathday on May 19th. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:36, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Can't we work in something about who he was? - "composer and bass singer". Johnbod (talk) 02:33, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I've added that to the hook right before his name. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
