5x expanded by Bigturtle (talk) and 7&6=thirteen (talk). Nominated by 7&6=thirteen (☎) at 11:29, 23 October 2017 (UTC).
- New -- work to expand the article was performed in the last 7 days
- Long enough -- expanded to more than 26K
- Meets policy -- yes
- Hook -- I prefer the ALT1 tag. The term "ghost ship" more commonly refers to a derelict ship found adrift, & the Clifton was a wreck at the bottom of the Great Lakes for over 80 years. (My first read of the hook led me to think it was a derelict drifting in the Great Lakes undetected for almost 100 years -- which if true would make a cool article.) I am a bit hesitant about the "almost 100 years" part; unless a third party steps in & says s/he is cool with the statement, I'd suggest replacing that with "over 80 years" -- which is still remarkable.
- Content -- no copyright violations detected; sourcing IMHO are satisfactory; links I checked to newspapers.com viewable without username/password.
- QPQ -- User:7&6=thirteen reviewed the article claimed.
- Image licensing status -- image taken from Wikimedia Commons, where it is stated to be PD.
After discussion of suggested tweaks to hook, this nomination will meet all criteria. -- llywrch (talk) 21:31, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
- ALT2:... that that the whaleback SS Clifton (pictured) disappeared for over 90 years?
