- Comment: There was also a page at Essex Street Market which was redirected several years ago. This new page is more than five times the size of the old redirect.
Created by Treetopz (talk) and Epicgenius (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 21:53, 31 March 2020 (UTC).
New enough (Mar. 28/29), Long enough (history section alone is above 1,500 char.), neutral, cites sources, no apparent copyvio issues (passes Earwig and eye tests, AGF on subscription-locked sources), hooks are short enough, and I can verify the primary and Alt1 through the sources I can access. Alt1 is the most interesting hook, the primary is also fine, but I would say Alt2 is not interesting enough. No image. Ready to go once QPQ done. Please ping me when it's ready.

- @The Squirrel Conspiracy: Thanks for the review. I have added a QPQ. (Thanks for trying to save me a click, though.) epicgenius (talk) 11:54, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
Looks good to go. AGF tick b/c of paywalled sources. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 23:54, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
