- Comment: There was also a page at Essex Street Market which was redirected several years ago. This new page is more than five times the size of the old redirect.

New enough (Mar. 28/29), Long enough (history section alone is above 1,500 char.), neutral, cites sources, no apparent copyvio issues (passes Earwig and eye tests, AGF on subscription-locked sources), hooks are short enough, and I can verify the primary and Alt1 through the sources I can access. Alt1 is the most interesting hook, the primary is also fine, but I would say Alt2 is not interesting enough. No image. Ready to go once QPQ done. Please ping me when it's ready.

- @The Squirrel Conspiracy: Thanks for the review. I have added a QPQ. (Thanks for trying to save me a click, though.) epicgenius (talk) 11:54, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
Looks good to go. AGF tick b/c of paywalled sources. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 23:54, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
