Created by Kingoflettuce (talk). Self-nominated at 13:59, 17 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Marc Tay; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out and is interesting. No textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingoflettuce and Sammi Brie: :I see sources say he was an Ophthalmologist in the Gulf War. They are licensed to practice medicine and surgery, so I think the hook is ok. For accuracy, it may be good to locate a source that actually states he performed surgery during the GulF War. I will promote this hook in the mean time; it is always possible that my reading is not correct. Bruxton (talk) 18:32, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
