General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: An interesting story. Nice work. Preference for ALT0 or ALT2 (also, can't find that she was the last one in the Historical Quarterly source, is that in the National Biography one?). QPQ currently pending. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:17, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@BeanieFan11: QPQ done. Yes, that is mentioned in the ANB entry. You could access via WPLibrary. Re preference of hooks, I'd prefer ALT0 as well. ALT2 is intriguing but with hindsight IDK it may portray a derogatory initial picture towards her tragic story until read fully. X (talk) 02:56, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

ALT0 it is then.
