Created by Piotrus (talk). Self-nominated at 11:34, 4 October 2019 (UTC).

  • @Piotrus: Can you find info about this person's birth date? ミラP 04:44, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
  • The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the articles that require a subscription and that there are no copyright violations. I prefer the first hook which is directly cited and the most interesting. SL93 (talk) 19:27, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but this seems like a self-congratulatory hook. I read the article and found very little else said about him. Do you have more sources describing his work? Yoninah (talk) 21:45, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
  • I agree. This seems like a strange reason to not approve a hook. It doesn't even make sense. SL93 (talk) 03:14, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
  • I'm saying that the whole article is WP:PEACOCK. Aside from his career stats and laudatory comments, there is no real biography here, nothing about his work, his research, his accomplishments. Oh, well, it is start-class, so it will have to pass. I'm wondering why you're not using the actual quote from the article:
  • ALT2: ... that Reuben Hill is considered "the founding father of family sociology"? Yoninah (talk) 00:00, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Restoring tick. Yoninah (talk) 13:39, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
