Created by Doug Coldwell (talk) and 7&6=thirteen (talk). Nominated by Doug Coldwell (talk) at 19:39, 4 May 2017 (UTC).


 * Both the articles are created and nominated on 5 May. So fits in 7 day range. QPQ done. Hook length is within 200 characters. Both the article has more than 1500 characters of readable prose.
 * Eli Parsons Royce mostly uses offline books so assuming good faith with them. Remaining online sources support the respective claims in the article. Infobox could be added, if required. I have added a clarification tag.
 * Symbol question.svg Nelson Ludington also used offline books majorly. So again have to assume good faith. Ref 18 and 19 does not seem to support its claim in the article. Also, please mention page number for ref 24. Its a huge document. There are two disambs; Daniel Wells and American Book Company. - Vivvt ( Talk ) 12:23, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I will attempt here to answer your concerns.
 * Linked the two disambs; Daniel Wells and American Book Company.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:55, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Ref # 18 has been replaced with source of Krog, which is quoted. Ref # 19 has been replaced with source Conrad, which is quoted.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:55, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Ref #24 of the large PDF can be found towards the top of the document; Section number 7 of Page 1 in the DESCRIPTION part it reads, Development spread westward and buildings that survived fire and demolition reveal a general progression in age from east to west, anchored by the House of Ludington, portions of which may date to the 1860s, in the 200 block on the east, to early twentieth-century small-scale commercial buildings in the 1600 block on the west. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:55, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Can we change the article to mention "1860s" than "1984" to align with the source? - Vivvt ( Talk ) 09:21, 22 May 2017 (UTC) - ✅ --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:19, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Reworded about the academy to, He attended public schools in the county. - because the source doesn't say what type of academy.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:10, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Will that work? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:19, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg This is good to go! - Vivvt ( Talk ) 10:21, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
