• Since nomination, article was elevated to GA status and qualifies on that point. Earwig returns "violation unlikely" on copyvio. No image, article is long enough, and NPOV. Hook is inline cited and interesting. Hook is cited to the Green Bay Packers official website; if one was really going to split hairs one might say this doesn't strictly fall within the realm of WP:ABOUTSELF, however, I have no reason to disbelieve the veracity of this rather innocuous claim. As to whether he was a "packer", or just worked for a packing company, that's not specified but (IMO) falls within the realm of literary license for the purposes of this DYK hook. The only thing that remains to be done is a QPQ - please ping me when it's ready. Other than that, GTG! Chetsford (talk) 21:17, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
