Article is new enough, not very detailed but long enough for DYK, neutral, and fully referenced. Hook is interesting and supported by cited source. Image is freely licensed. No copyvio found. Awaiting QPQ. -Zanhe (talk) 09:19, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Edwardx: A QPQ is still needed. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:40, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There have been multiple pings for a QPQ review to be supplied, including on Edwardx's talk page, and it still has not been supplied nor has there been any response here or there. If the weekend ends without a QPQ being completed or a post here from Edwardx requesting an extension, the nomination will regretfully be marked for closure. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:59, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset and Edwardx: Would it be okay for me to donate a QPQ in Edward's stead if he's still unable to respond? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:04, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Donations of QPQs are always acceptable. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:38, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Pending a QPQ from Edward, I will be donating my review of Template:Did you know nominations/Doodlebug (film). Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 04:31, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset: Is my QPQ donation okay, or should we still wait for a response from Edward? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:12, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Narutolovehinata5, I don't know whether Edwardx is unable to respond or just not interested. A few minutes ago I posted to his talk page on my disappointment at the failure to participate here. However, as I said, if you want to donate a QPQ, you're certainly welcome to do so, and when it's officially done (not quite sure why you said "will be donating" rather than "have donated") this should be ready to go per Zanhe's original review. But it needs to be officially done by you, and I think you should supply to tick to indicate it has been done. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:49, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I normally only donate QPQs if a QPQ is the only thing preventing a nomination from being approved, and even then only if other editors or I have tried contacting the nominator first. I also said "will be" because I'm still hoping that Edward will be able to respond and give his QPQ. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 08:45, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Narutolovehinata5, thank you for your kindness. I have now, very belatedly, done a QPQ. My apologies. Edwardx (talk) 00:27, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As Edward has provided a QPQ and there are no longer any outstanding issues, this should now be good to go. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:28, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the hook as currently written is acceptable. When a property is sold in the UK, the buyer agrees to buy it "subject to contract". Agreements to buy often fall through before exchange of contracts, or a different price may be negotiated, so I think the hook needs "it is reported that" or some such modifier. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:23, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cwmhiraeth I would hope that our readers could infer that the sale is not a done deal. As for a different price, it would have to be a lot less than £200m for it not to become the UK's most expensive. Perhaps we could replace "is buying" with "has agreed to buy", which is the language used in the source. Edwardx (talk) 14:29, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Edwardx: True. I would not object to "has agreed to buy". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:37, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cwmhiraeth, hook tweaked as discussed. Zanhe, as the reviewer, could you please confirm that you are happy with the revised hook? Edwardx (talk) 17:04, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Zanhe hasn't been on-Wiki since February, so as Cwhiraeth and Edwardx have agreed on a new wording, the new "has agreed to buy" version is approved. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 10:52, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
