... that although Peter Doyle was Walt Whitman's intimate companion for over twenty years, he was almost not permitted to be at Whitman's funeral? Source: [1]

New enough (recently expanded 5x), long enough, well-sourced and neutrally written, no copyvio detected, interesting hook. Two minor things: 1) "almost not allowed into the funeral" needs an inline citation at the end of the sentence in the article, since it is used in the hook. 2) Awaiting QPQ. These historical romances are always interesting to me. Thanks for your work on this article! DanCherek (talk) 06:37, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, DanCherek! I QPQ'd Template:Did you know nominations/Port of Spain Gazette and added the cite. How's it look now? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 02:47, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
