 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new enough (1 day before nomination) and long enough (2176 characters (377 words) "readable prose size"). I can not detect any copyvio or close paraphrasing as most of the sources are offline. The article appears to be neutrally written. It may be better to link the annals to this URL rather than making readers search for s.a. 893. I was not able to find any mention of Sichfrith in a search of the google books versions of Downham or Smyth and couldn't work out if I could scroll to the page numbers given. The Ashley ref does strongly support the issuing of coins mentioned in the hook but the I assume good faith for the link with the hoard. QPQ done.&mdash; Rod talk 21:22, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
