General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral: - I have to err on the side of caution here, the source here says that
He was a strict disciplinarian who popular myth held was so tough he “shaved with a blowtorch.”
Perhaps the sentence should include the fact that this was a myth (really small degree of truth) instead of a said (some degree of truth)?
