Comment: I'm nominating two articles of identical base name (this is the father; his son is nominated here) and maybe we want to run them together in the same hook set to cause some intrigue.

Interesting life on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I like the hook. Unless you want to combine father and son, I'd vote to give each his own. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:38, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Gerda. Just to clarify: I'm suggesting two separate hooks, but run in the same set of hooks. Schwede 66 19:42, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
