... that Kanso Yoshida, a relative of Japanese Emperor Hirohito, served in the British merchant navy in both world wars and was known to friends as Paddy Murphy?

- Thanks to Template:U for his quick review![FBDB] Per his suggestion...
ALT1 ... that Kanso Yoshida was Japanese Emperor Hirohito's second cousin by marriage, served in the British merchant navy during both world wars, and was known to his friends as Paddy Murphy?
- BTW, might this qualify for the quirky slot? EEng 14:40, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Grrr, you must have seen me coming. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:28, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Just when I thought we could go no lower. Can you tick again for ALT1? EEng 17:20, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'll try and beat the rush...

- ALT1 looks fine. I guess using his Japanese name with that piped link is all part of your devious Scouse surprise. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:14, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Template:U, sorry to prolong this, but you got me thinking and I believe the following is punchier. Can you give a final-request-I-swear tick?
- ALT2 ... that Japanese Emperor Hirohito had a Liverpudlian cousin named Paddy Murphy?
- And (to repeat) perhaps the promoter will consider this for the quirky slot. EEng 19:26, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- ALT2 looks positively regal. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:02, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Marking with icon to prevent promotion to prep while article remains at AfD. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:01, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- Template:U, AfD was Keep (WP:Articles_for_deletion/Paddy_Murphy_(Liverpudlian)) so please re-tick. And (again), please consider for quirky slot. EEng 23:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- Reinstating tick placed by Martinevans123 now that AfD has been closed as Keep. I don't see any changes to the article since that tick that would cause issues with that earlier approval. I also see no issues with using the quirky slot. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:28, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
