 * Symbol delete vote.svgtunately, this article has been in existence for too long to qualify as a brand-new article; it was created (at a prose size of 924 B) on December 20, 2014.
 * It was expanded to 1958 B between January 8 - 15, but this isn't a 5-fold increase, which (given its original creation date). MeegsC (talk) 01:55, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It was created as a userspace draft then worked on on and off until the 13th January when it was moved into mainspace. Per WP:DYK 1d that's the effective date of creation. If you use DYK check it confirms this.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 02:12, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, you're absolutely right; I missed the article move! Will continue checking. MeegsC (talk) 02:15, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * The article is new enough (moved from sandbox to article space on January 13), long enough (1958 B) and within policy.
 * The hook is short enough, but a bit unclear; it's the building of the viaduct that was delayed, and there's no indication of who or what George Hudson was. Perhaps something like ... that the building of the Chester Burn viaduct was delayed for twenty years by the downfall of railway financier George Hudson? which is still short enough. The hook is cited in the article, and the source supports the hook.
 * QPC done, and fair use image attached. Other fair use images also exist on Commons, if this one doesn't work.
