  • This article is new enough and long enough. I have struck ALT1 and ALT2 because of BLP issues, we don't run DYKs about allegations of misbehaviour, only including such facts after conviction. The hook facts in the original hook are cited inline and it is approved. I think the first paragraph of the "Sexual misconduct allegations" should be removed for BLP reasons. The reference at the end seems to be on Facebook but does not work for me. Wikipedia does not report allegations, where the alleged perpetrator has no right of reply, only facts.

In other respects, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:47, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth: Thank you for your comments; I understand completely. The first paragraph’s reference is actually the Washington Post article and not facebook; the author names are links to their Facebook profiles instead of their names which I will fix when I get the chance. I will remove the first paragraph and replace it without any details of the allegations, understanding completely that Wikipedia does not describe them —Zingarese talk · contribs 15:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
