Created by Peter I. Vardy (talk). Self nominated at 17:15, 17 December 2014 (UTC).
Article created on December 17, 3,013 characters. Article is neutral, cites in-line sources well, attributes quotes about the house to their authors in-line with WP:INTEXT. Both hooks lie under the 200 character mark, are interesting. According to [1], Ismay did not found White Star Line, but purchased it for £1,000. I would prefer "in" be changed to "from" in the first hook, as it's a year range. Source supports first hook. Source also supports second hook. No images; the reviewed article links to a review by another user. I'm putting this on hold until nominator reviews another hook, and nominator fixes Ismay's role in relation to White Star.

- Template:Ping Not sure what more you want me to do. I'm OK with any of the hooks. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:58, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- Template:Ping I want you to review a proposed did you know hook article per the QPQ rules as established under Wikipedia:Did you know#Eligibility criteria rule No. 5. You never edited the Suquamish Museum proposed hook; can you show me where you reviewed it? Don't be so brash. Seattle (talk) 10:09, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

- It's a commonplace that houses slated for demolition get cannibalized for parts.
- ALT2 ... that Thomas Henry Ismay's wife said that Dawpool had "served its purpose in keeping [her husband] amused for fifteen years"?
