- Comment: Nice if this could run on coronation day (6 May), if needed to save space it could be merged into the multi-article Template:Did you know nominations/Robe of State but I think it has enough interest to stand alone

Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 06:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Coronation glove; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Hook is interesting enough and checks out. All paragraphs and hook are well-cited. Article has a neutral tone. Earwig found no close paraphrasing, copyright or plagiarism. The 1902 image is old enough for the main page. Fixed a few trivial typos. Good to go. Edwardx (talk) 00:16, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
