 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new enough, long enough (over 2,800 characters by my count), and in line with core Wikipedia policies (it is neutral, well cited, and does not have any apparent copyright issues). The hook is short enough, neutral, properly cited, and certainly interesting. QPQ has been done, and the image (the coat of arms itself) is free (public domain), used in the article, and it certainly looks very good at small size. Accepting some of the references in good faith, as a few are either behind paywalls or are books to which I do not have access, I think that this article is good to go. Nice job, The C of E!
