  • Article is new enough, long enough (1998), the hook is related to the title of one of his books, which is verifiable and cited, and the article itself seems to conform to policy without issue. the QPQ was done by Whispyhistory, which is fine. One concern I have with the image is that it is from his 1807 book "Designs for Small Picturesque Cottages and Hunting Boxes", not from the 1806 book "Designs for Elegant Cottages and Small Villas, Calculated for the Comfort and Convenience of Persons of Moderate and of Ample Fortune", which is the wording that the hook uses. However, the hook avoids this mostly by saying "Edward Gyfford's buildings", so it isn't a major issue. If a plate from his 1806 book could be found instead, that would be preferable, but I'm not sure if one is available. Either way, it can go as is. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 10:46, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
I have since acquired both books, however, in my view that image is the most striking due to the notable modernity of the two towers. That's probably why it is also the only one that has already been put online. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:48, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
