Horace Batten
- ... that Horace Batten captained a rugby team, played professional cricket, and made Darth Vader's boots?
Moved to mainspace by Arthur goes shopping (talk). Self-nominated at 10:08, 1 April 2015 (UTC).
- New enough (created 1 April 2015). Long enough (~ 2,000 characters of prose). The article is neutral, every point is cited to a reliable source and seems free of close paraphrasing. Hook is 101 characters, so short enough. It is accurate: the BBC article cites the Darth Vader's boots and his interest in cricket; a Telegraph article supports the fact about rugby. The QPQ checks out and there are no images. I will give this one more read over, but it looks like a pass. Well done, —Noswall59 (talk) 17:35, 1 April 2015 (UTC).
Okay, I am happy that there is no copyright infringement. I am no expert on images, but this seems to meet fair use. I don't have a subscription for the Times, so I am trusting it has been used correctly. Again, well done; best wishes, —Noswall59 (talk) 17:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC).
