Review follows: This article is new enough and just barely long enough. I do not see any policy issues, copyvio check came back clean. The hook is short enough and cited. However, I cannot approve it for two reasons. First, it is not actually about the subject at all. Secondly, it fails the criterion "neutral and does not focus unduly on negative aspects of living people". QPQ is not done. Nominator, you will need to supply another hook or this nomination will unfortunately have to be failed. I will give you one week to do this before failing the nomination.

let me know; I'm also happy to provide a QPQ if necessary. Also, in general, you don't want to use {{subst:DYKno}} unless the nomination is ready to be closed; if there are fixable issues, it's best practice to use {{subst:DYK?no}} or {{subst:DYK?}}.

I think that hook would be ok, but the nominator has yet to provide a QPQ. If you'd like to provide a QPQ instead then this can move forward. And noted about the symbol.

For whatever reason, Edwardx has been active even today but has ignored at least 4 pings and talk page messages regarding this DYK. I've half a mind to suggest they shouldn't be given credit considering they refuse to do anything to help their nomination along, yet are
[1] adding more DYKNs today (with no QPQ done, again). Quite poor behavior.
Trainsandotherthings (

Yeah, I can't think of a reasonable explanation for that. I'm not inclined to donate a QPQ under these circumstances.

I'm officially failing this nomination now. Very disappointed in the behavior of the nominator.

Overall: Thank you for this useful expansion. We always need public domain information about what these rich business people are up to. I'm reviewing this nom to move it forward after all the hiccups. (Note: I have no disagreement with the above comments, and I'm just doing a fresh review to familiarise myself with the article.)
The article has 1460 characters; please expand to 1,500 or more?
When that is done, this nom should be good to go.

Thanks,
Edwardx! In the future, it's always good to give a heads-up that you're working on the QPQ just to avoid miscommunications like this.

Quite agree,
