John Hugill

Nominator(s): Steve Smith (talk) 09:28, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

In 1935, a radio evangelist became premier of Alberta based on his promises to end the Great Depression using unproven—some would say crackpot—monetary theories. As his Attorney General, he selected a man who viewed the implementation of those theories as unconstitutional. It went predictably.

This is on the short side for a featured biography, at about 2,000 words of readable prose. However, Hugill's notability comes primarily from his time as Attorney General, which lasted less than two years. With that in mind, I think this article is sufficiently comprehensive; I hope that you will find that it satisfies the other criteria as well. Steve Smith (talk) 09:28, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

• Image review all the images need US public domain tags (possibly {{PD-1996}}, but only if the image was in the public domain in Canada on 1 January 1996) (t · c) buidhe 10:33, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
  • All three images were, and I have added that tag to each; thank you. Steve Smith (talk) 10:47, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
• Date of Death - I noticed there was no date of death in the article. The date of death in the obituary in the Calgary Herald is January 13, 1971 via Google Newspapers (to the right of the highlighted article. An article was published on January 15th by the Canadian Press in the Edmonton Journal when he died via Google Newspapers. Caddyshack01 (talk) 18:58, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

I was about to point that out. Leaving out a detail like that makes me hesitant to review the article.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:25, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, it's not source-able to secondary sources. However, for a detail like that, I think a primary source is fine, and I'll throw that in there later tonight; thanks, Caddyshack. Steve Smith (talk) 22:44, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Coord note After almost 3 weeks this has not gotten much in the way of substantial review or support. It may be archived in the next few days if we don't see progress towards promotion. (t · c) buidhe 01:05, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
