General: Article is new enough and 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: I prefer the first hook; it is catchy and to the point.
The usage of PGL's own website as a source makes me uncomfortable - are there no secondary, independent RSes? The section about the various activities offered by PGL sounds vaguely promotional and similar in tone to what they would write on their own website. It should be written more neutrally.
The article seems to be comprised of a large number of single-line paragraphs, including one incomplete sentence in the section about Jimmy White. The prose should have complete sentences and should preferably be condensed into larger paragraphs.

• • Thanks for the helpful feedback. I've tried to address the prose in those two sections as suggested, hope that helps. I took the view that primary sources were appropriate in terms of what they offer at this centre, and I can't seem to come up with much in the way of third party sources which talk about them offering these things at this centre. I can find citations that say that PGL in general do these things, but not necessarily at this centre. Any further thoughts welcome. OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 11:24, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Owain.davies, it's all good to go now. Waiting for your QPQ. If the nominator there hasn't responded you could review something else and ask on Wikipedia talk:DYK for someone else to take over Sefine Shipyard's nomination.

Owain.davies I see that the Sefine Shipyard review is temporarily on hold, but I think you've done due diligence in the review and trust you will take it to completion, so I'll pass this DYK. Cheers, and happy editing!

the first hook ("...children's activity centre"). Kind regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{talk | fings wot i hav dun} 16:40, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
