- Comment: You thought "radio station + public library" was a pairing? Try "TV station + Navy rear admiral"! Thanks to CommissarDoggo for helping with the Wettlaufer 5x (each of us only expanded one article). CommissarDoggo has no prior nominations, but I supplied two QPQs.

5x expanded by Sammi Brie (talk) (WOTF-TV) and CommissarDoggo (talk) (Michael Wettlaufer). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 692 past nominations.
