I shall begin reading this through. Comments to follow this afternoon.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 12:18, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

• Seems a little incomplete - for instance there is no account of his death.

• The books I've found on Peel seem to focus primarily on his achievements in life, and very little on his birth or death. This is primarily because the sources are often related to Prime Minister Peel, or to the cotton industry in general - there's little specifically targeting old "Parsley". The only thing I have on his death was from Wadsworth, which mentioned that Peel died a few months prior to his wife, who wished it thus - she wanted to out live him because he had given her a good life. I'm happy to include that if it helps, but I'm not sure how much it adds to the article. Were there any other topics you would be expecting to be included? (Keeping in mind of course that the criteria for Good article is "Broad in coverage" and "Focussed", not "complete") Worm^TT(talk) 15:59, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

• The lede should summarise content contained in the article, but it does not actually mention the his grandson became prime minister. - done

• It now appears in the article (good) but isn't cited (not good). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gilderien (talk • contribs) 17:32, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

  Well, it's pretty much the most uncontroversial fact in the article - one that is mentioned in almost every source... but hopefully the family tree will help clarify. Worm^TT(talk) 19:57, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

I have read through again, and, presuming there are no free images available (although you could probably get away with a fair-use if there was one) the article meets all the GA criteria. I am therefore listing this as a Good Article. --Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 22:44, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
