The hook is banal, and the supporting reference is to a site that anyone can edit and add information to, and so fails WP:RS. Other sources used, such as n2genealogy.com are also suspect. Furthermore the article is poorly written, with a mixture of overly long and confused sentences and disjointed short sentences. Frankly I don't think that it is good enough as it stands to be featured on the main page, but I'll give the nom a chance to improve it. BabelStone (talk) 00:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
SL93 notified on 20 September, but although still active he has not responded to the issues raised here or improved the article; therefore I'm failing the nomination. BabelStone (talk) 12:07, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
