SeaCity Museum

(

)

... that Southampton City Council proposed selling off artworks by Munnings and Rodin to fund the creation of SeaCity Museum?

Comment: Other hooks are possible. One could look at the RMS Titanic connection, or the museum's design as part of the Grade II* listed Civic Centre.

I do think that the DYK would be more an overall account of the article if Titanic was mentioned. The article seems fine, otherwise. — M.Mario (T/C) 10:25, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Please specify what's OK, and what needs to be fixed to get this nomination approved (article length, date of creating/expansion, date of nomination, within policy (neutral, have inline citation and is free of copyvio), if the hook-fact is backed up by a source, and if QPQ needs to be done).

QPQ does not need to be done - the article is at the correct length. It has been expanded in the last seven days, and is the seems neutral. It sites sources throughout the article. So yes, as I said - it seems fine. But, a more interesting hook, actually no, a hook which represent the article more would be prefered. — M.Mario (T/C) 12:20, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I thought the funding angle was the most interesting fact about the museum, I also thought that links to Alfred Munnings and Auguste Rodin would be more original than the RMS Titanic (which we've seen a lot of this year). I don't believe that hooks should be an "overall account" of the article, but merely to draw people in - here I suggest that the hook be shortened in order to give less away. I will admit though, that people are still mad about the Titanic, so you are free to suggest alternative hooks. - hahnch e n 12:48, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
