 * Symbol question.svg Length, newness, policy compliance verified. Hook interest, and fact verified. Missing citation for wife, and qpq. Dr.   K.  08:20, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think the hook right now is really spectacular: could a new hook be suggested, or something be added to it? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:40, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * The current hook seems rather pedestrian. Suggesting alternatives below: are these alright or should we try a different direction?
 * ALT1 ... that William Marshall Cazalet (pictured), a real tennis player for Great Britain at the 1908 Olympic Games, was friends with Rudyard Kipling?
 * ALT1a ... that William Marshall Cazalet (pictured), who played real tennis at the 1908 Olympic Games, was friends with Rudyard Kipling?
 * ALT2 ... that a painting of British socialite and real tennis player William Marshall Cazalet (pictured) was sold at a 2007 Christie's auction for US$1.8 million?

 * Thank you, . The first hook might have been a bit better before someone linked "real tennis". I like ALT2, but "US$2–3 million" was the estimate. Going out now. Will look again later. Edwardx (talk) 12:21, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you . Your suggested hooks look good to me. I like ALT1 in particular. When a final hook is agreed by please let me know.  Dr.   K.  17:26, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you, and, QPQ now done. The painting sold for $1.832 million, so I have added a ref, and tweaked ALT2, which is probably my favourite hook. Have also added a bit to the article (and an image of the painting) about Barbra Streisand donating a Sargent group portrait of his wife and children to LACMA, but that might be bit tenuous for DYK.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg All three hooks approved. Article is also eligible per my previous comments. He married Maud Lucia Heron-Maxwell (d. 1952),... is unsourced, but I don't think its verification is required before this DYK is approved. Dr.   K.  16:02, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Dr.K. I have added two refs for the marriage, the NPG one is in case readers do not have free ODNB access. Edwardx (talk) 09:16, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg. Reconfirm. All good now. Thank you . Dr.   K.  18:53, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
