Article is new, neutral and long enough. It cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports moderate text similarities, which result mostly from quotes. All hooks are well-formatted. I prefer ALT2. It is interesting. Its length is within limit, and its fact is sourced inline. QPQ was done. Good to go. CeeGee 12:56, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment and ping User:CeeGee, User:Buidhe. I worry that this article is much less neutral than the corresponding Polish article. On pl wiki, his biography doesn't even have a section about 'criticism', and is structured in the usual form (education, work, etc.). But our biography seems significanty focused on his recent criticism of the government. I think this is not 'best practices' as far as WP:BLP and WP:UNDUE go. PS. On that note I also don't think ALT2 is neutral and I'd prefer more tame ALT1/main. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:16, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DYK hooks do not need to be neutral, only true. On reflection, I agree with CeeGee that ALT2 is the most interesting. Articles do not have to cover all information to be acceptable for DYK. It's true that Sadurski's recent criticisms aren't covered in the plwiki article but I would argue that they should be. (t · c) buidhe 04:30, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
