New enough, long enough and within policy. All three hooks are good and supported by inline citations. QPQ is done. It should be good to go. (@CurryTime7-24: I'm not sure you can add a picture after the nomination has passed..? Anyway, if you do, let me know and I can check it for the proper license.) Nice article!

I think I'll hold off on adding the picture to the nomination. It was taken when he was still in high school, about six years before he started working in radio. It's also maybe a little too pixelated looking for a DYK. But thanks for the offer... and the review, of course! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 21:46, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
