List of women members of the House of Commons of Northern Ireland

 * ... that the longest-serving woman in the House of Commons of Northern Ireland was also grandmother of two prime ministers? the granny is Dehra Parker; the 2 grandsons are Terence O'Neill and James Chichester-Clark.

 * Reviewed: Los Frailes ignimbrite plateau
 * Comment The hook is 114 characters long, which is as short as I could get it. The terms "House of Commons" and "MP" are ambiguous in this context, because throughout the 1921–72 existence of the House of Commons of Northern Ireland, NI also elected members to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. Both sets were known as MPs, distinguished colloquially as "Stormont MPs" and "Westminster MPs". I think "Stormont MPs" would be meaningless to most readers outside Ireland, esp to Americans who use "MP" to mean Military Police.

 * I'm starting the review. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:42, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Y Article is new enough (created 27 January, nominated 28 January), long enough (c. 6,500 characters of prose), and article is within policy.
 * Yes check.svg Y Hook is interesting and supported by inline citations. As highlighted by the nominator, this hook cannot be made any shorter, as it needs to be unambiguous to non-British readers. Hook is still well within 200 character limit anyway, so fine to approve it.
 * Yes check.svg Y QPQ done.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:04, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
