Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Article is long enough. No copyvios detected. AGF on the citation which I could not access through WP:LIBRARY. Interesting hooks, I prefer the second but both work. QPQ completed. Content-wise, I would rather not mention James Moorhouse by name in the lead (especially when it is so brief). In my experience, women's notability is sometimes framed as being inherited from notable men in their lives rather than through their own actions. The root of MacFarlane's notability is not because Moorhouse himself ordained her, but rather because she was became the first deaconess. I suggest tweaking the lead to focus on what little we know of her career (i.e. Matron of the Servants Training Institute and the Christ Church South Yarra). On a related note- it might be worth mentioning in the lead of Moorhouse's article that he ordained Australia's first female deaconess. I added an infobox to the article and an image to this nomination; feel free to remove if not desired. I enjoyed reading this article. Hopefully the redlink on Mary Schleicher turns blue soon :) TJMSmith (talk) 01:27, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
