Article is newly created and meets the size and citation requirements. Hook fact needs a direct cite - I'd have moved a copy up myself, but the next citations were a set of three and I wasn't sure which included in the hook fact. Miyagawa (talk) 19:33, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

@Miyagawa: Both first two sources do: "Mr. Beckley was the last official Hawaiian interpreter in the Supreme Court under the Monarchy" (Nellist 1925) and "Educated in both languages, her oldest son, Frederick William Kahapula Beckley (1874-1943) was "the last official Hawaiian interpreter in the Supreme Court under the Monarchy," " (Bacchilega 2011, pp. 111–112). But the 2011 source is merely quoting the 1925 source. KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:40, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Great, happy to sign off on that basis. Miyagawa (talk) 19:51, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
