Substantial article on excellent sources and illustrations, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, but I confess that I'd like the less cropped version, - it's not about the dog but her art ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:06, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Questions raised at WT:DYK Admin please remove Frances C. Fairman from Queue 6 about this nomination. — Maile (talk) 14:52, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, Maile66 for dealing with this. Please accept my apologies for the extra work it must have caused. I am considering removing the offending section to the article talk page, so that its objector will no longer feel the need to tag it, and maybe the nom could be re-admitted to the DYK approved page if you see fit. I'll try it and see what happens. Storye book (talk) 15:46, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Update. I have now removed the disputed section to the talk page so that there is no longer a provocative tag on the article, and the objector is happy with this situation. I am now confident that the article should be stable enough to be re-entered on the DYK approved page, if admin agrees to this. My apologies again for the disruption. Maybe I should do a few extra reviews to make up for it, hehe. Storye book (talk) 16:51, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
fine with me. The sentence about her grave has no citation, - please add one or remove it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:56, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
