• Withdrawn. I interpret the lack of review to be an indication that this wasn't very hooky. Cbl62 (talk) 01:23, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

• @Cbl62: that was fast. We don't have so many reviewers lately. Would you like a review from me? Yoninah (talk) 21:29, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: I was a little hesitant about this hook to begin with. Heschong was probably the top art director in the Golden Age of TV, but the hook is not strong, so I'm good with withdrawing this one. Cbl62 (talk) 22:06, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

• @Cbl62: Really? You wrote a whole article and don't want a main page appearance? You just have to play around with the material to find a good angle. What do you think about:

• ALT1: ... that Albert Heschong parlayed his childhood interest in model boats and Erector Sets into building huge stage sets, including a $15,000 Victorian house for ABC's Pulitzer Prize Playhouse? Yoninah (talk) 22:18, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

• You're good at this. Love it! Cbl62 (talk) 23:00, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks. Let's get a review going. evrik, are you available? Yoninah (talk) 23:24, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

• Cbl62, the nomination becomes aged after 30 days... I can do it, @Cbl62: have you done a QPQ? --evrik ^(talk) 02:29, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
