My review of this:

Article

New – Y Published 10 April, 2021
Long enough Y the prose portion exceeds 1,500 characters
Within policy – Y appears neutral, cites sources with inline citations, appears free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism per Earwig

Hook Format – it is fewer than 200 characters and might be. interesting to a broad audience The hook fact is accurate and cited with an inline citation in the article neutral and does not focus unduly on negative aspects of living people. However, ALT1 might need rewording, as to make it more clear that he is the only veteran to survive a quadruple amputation during the war (not to survive a quadruple amputation, period).

QPQ – ~~unsure of this right now~~ Y per MeegsC's findings, passes

SecretName101, the QPQ looks fine; Nikkimaria actually did far more than needed for a single QPQ. Is that all you were waiting for? If so, can you please give this one its tick so that it can be moved to the "approved nominations" queue? Thanks. MeegsC (talk) 14:28, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Passes. Will move to "approved nominations". SecretName101 (talk) 19:07, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding tick, per SecretName101's pass, so nomination moves properly.
