General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Hook eligibility:
QPQ: None required. |
Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, neutral and plagiarism-free. Hook is interesting; however, I find it a bit wordy and don't see it mentioned in the article. The article also her a {{ cleanup}} tag so the issues'll have to be resolved and the tag removed. Nominator only has two prior noms so no QPQ needed.

This article reads like a Puff Piece! I hope the creator of this article was paid well by the subject of this article (especially considering he was awarded 9 figures in $$$ by the Trump Administration). I said that last sentence tongue-in-cheek: I don't really think the creator was compensated by Oakes. But that something from this page was featured in DYK shows how far over the shark Wikipedia has jumped. Is this what Wikipedia is becoming? A place for partisans to write puff pieces for their political heroes? Glad I jumped off this ship a long time ago... from a former Wikipedia Admin. 67.8.1.23 ( talk) 08:23, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
The article has numerous references from independent sources with more than a trivial mention. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages)Have a blessed day. 18:18, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
