Gilmore the lion, Gilmore Oil Company

 * ... that Gilmore, the flying lion (pictured), was named after the Gilmore Oil Company?
 * Reviewed: Bernardo De Pace and Unity of the intellect as two reviews are required for a double hook, I believe.
 * Comment: The hook can be confirmed online at the Smithsonian. This is a double nomination and I plan further expansion of the two articles but this should do to get started.

 * OK the lion is good, with help from . On to the next. Drmies (talk) 14:21, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg So both are long enough, new enough, and plagiarism-free enough, and the image seems free enough. User:Andrew Davidson, there's a cn-tag on the oil company article I need you to take care of: I couldn't find that in the Wallach book. And please have a look at my other edits.

 * Thanks for the review. I'm pressed for time currently and so will have to do this in stages but will get to it soon, I hope. Andrew D. (talk) 18:25, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

It's ready for another look now. Andrew D. (talk) 13:10, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

The oil company seems okay now: all sources are offline so I'm assuming good faith on its content. There's just a slight catch with the nomination: on the lion article, it mentions that his remains are in cold storage, but the source provided doesn't explicitly say this: it only says that his remains are either in storage or on loan. A better source for the storage thing might be needed here, or that the article needs to be rephrased saying that his remains are "listed as on loan or in storage".
