• I don't know for a fact Today in Philippines History is RS, however, the Ocampo text is (the author is qualified to write on this topic and appears to have no COI and book is non self-published) and I AGF it (offline). QPQ done. New and long enough. No obvious copyvio. Interesting hook. GTG for primary hook. Primary hook needs to be shortened, Arius1998, and then it will be GTG. (ALT1 hook fails interest test.)

• Thank you for the review, LavaBaron. Kahimyang Project is a website which publishes content from primary sources (and may therefore be considered RS because it is neither questionable nor self-published). For this topic, the sources mentioned are in the article itself: (1) The United States Army in the Philippines, 1898-1902, John Morgan Gates, 1937, (2) Pambansang Komisyong Pangkasaysayan, and (3) Research School for Southeast Asian Studies, Xiamen University. Nevertheless, Ocampo's book (though an offline source) is in itself adequate enough, but I put the Kahimyang Project article for online verification. I hope that either of the two hooks are GTG soon. If a revision in the primary hook is needed, then ALT2 may be: that the Japanese steamship Nunobiki Maru was known mainly for her ill-fated delivery of military supplies from Nagasaki to the Philippines?

or ALT3: that the Japanese steamship Nunobiki Maru was known mainly for her ill-fated delivery of military supplies for the Philippine Republican Army? Arius1998 (talk) 01:36, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

ALT-2 approved. GTG. LavaBaron (talk) 01:40, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

• The fact that she was "known mainly" for the 1899 delivery or (in the article) "best known for her delivery of arms" is the page creator's premise to prove notability; no inline citations are provided for these facts. It would be better to write a hook that just says something about the ship. Yoninah (talk) 22:53, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

• ALT4: that the Japanese steamship Nunobiki Maru undertook an ill-fated delivery of military supplies from Nagasaki to the Philippines in 1899? Arius1998 (talk) 23:55, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

• Thank you. As ALT4 is just a pared down version of ALT3, restoring tick per Lava Baron's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:03, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
