  • Note: The AfD was raised within minutes of publication of the article, with no time given for discussion, editing or anything else. The article has since been corrected for OR/POV concerns, a modern book source has been added, and the sources given above on this template bear out the facts in the hook (except for the word "rich" which I've deleted). If you want a different hook, just say so. Storye book (talk) 20:00, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Update The AfD has now been closed as keep, so the article is no longer tagged. However it has now come to light that I need to confirm the names of Fitzpatrick's parents, so please delay any promotion of this article for one or two weeks, so that I can access the correct information. I shall post here when that has been done. Thank you for your patience. Storye book (talk) 10:07, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Ready for review. I have now updated and corrected the article, which is now ready for review. Storye book (talk) 08:23, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
  • The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. A QPQ has been completed. The only problem that I have is that I don't see where it says at least five aristocrats. SL93 (talk) 18:42, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I have clarified the text and the leader so that the reader can see who the aristocrats are. In 19th century England, people with titles such as "Sir" and "The Hon.," who lived in stately homes, great houses and English country houses as grand as the ones listed in the article, were aristocrats. There was previously a full set of images of the five stately homes in the article, but I was asked to remove them. Would it help if I put them back? Storye book (talk) 17:05, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the information and the additions. I always appreciate learning something new. I think it's fine with what you just added. SL93 (talk) 17:10, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
