 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hi Chetsford, review follows: article created as new on 23 August; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; no apparent copyright violations; hook is interesting and cited inline to reliable sources. I cannot access the sources but happy to AGF that they back up the claim; just awaiting a QPQ and this should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 10:26, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks Dumelow - I've done a QPQ now, and also added an ALT hook. Chetsford (talk) 16:27, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg QPQ now done. ALT1 verified.  I would suggest a slight amendment to the blurb: "... that, in 2005, the United States government purchased John Lennon's boyhood stamp album for its collection?" to avoid repetition of "United States" and "stamp", but I will leave it to the promoter to decide which to use - Dumelow (talk) 16:41, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed, that reads cleaner. Chetsford (talk) 17:01, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
