 * Symbol possible vote.svg New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. However, there is extensive word-by-word and sentence-by-sentence close paraphrasing which must be rewritten in your own words:
 * Source: During the First World War she started a training farm for women agricultural workers, served as a clerical worker with Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps from 1917, and in 1918 worked in the women's department of the Ministry of National Service.

 * Satisfactory legislation on child assault
 * Satisfactory legislation for the widowed mother
 * Satisfactory legislation for the unmarried mother and her child
 * Equal rights of guardianship for married parents
 * Equal pay for teachers

 * Source: Later that month Helen Archdale was arrested with Adela Pankhurst and Maud Joachim in Dundee after interrupting a meeting being held by the local MP, Winston Churchill. On 20th October all three women went on hunger strike. They were all released after four days of imprisonment.
 * Article: Later that month she was arrested with Hannah Mitchell (she's not mentioned in the source), Adela Pankhurst and Maud Joachim in Dundee and convicted of a breach of the peace after interrupting a meeting being held by the local MP, Winston Churchill. Following this on 20 October all three women went on hunger strike. All three were released after four days of imprisonment.
 * According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography source, her maiden name was Helen Russel. Why is the page named Helen Alexander Archdale, and not Helen Russel Archdale or just Helen Archdale? I also added a clarification tag to "equalitarian feminism" — what is this? Is it a typo? Does it have an associated Wikipedia page?
 * Regarding the hooks, the first one is OK; it would be better not to identify Winston Churchill as an MP in Dundee for intrigue. But an even better hook would be her daughter remembering that she supplied her mother with rocks for her window-breaking protest.
 * No QPQ needed for first-time nominator. Image in article is fair use. Yoninah (talk) 22:29, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Despite two separate pings to the nominator's talk page, there has been no attempt to address the issues raised here, except for the article creator modifying the first bit of copying mentioned above (in the article's intro). Marking nomination for closure, though if action is taken to address the rest of the issues before this closes and is noted here, the nomination can continue.
