What a sad (and disturbing) story, thank you for writing it. The article is eligible for DYK – it was moved from userspace on June 17, is long enough, has sufficient in-line citations, and is presentable. I like the first hook and it is supported by the provided source. I'm having trouble accessing the source to check ALT1, but I prefer the first hook anyway. Image looks good. No copyvio concerns.

- Thank you very much for taking time to review the article @Ruby2010:. It is indeed a sad story and I had to take breaks while reading his biography. APK hi :-) (talk) 01:44, 28 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
