General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - Kindly place a reference immediately after the claim in the article. Also try to find a reference that doesn't need subscription. There seems to be a difference between heart attack and heart failure, no?
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Fix issues and this will be good to go Makeandtoss (talk) 22:43, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

  • The inline cite verifies the part about him dying of heart failure, but not where it happened or what caused it to happen. Yoninah (talk) 00:00, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
  • My apologies, the previous reviewer specified a universally obtainable source. By-Elections in British Politics, 1832-1914 by Otte and Readman verifies the information on p. 3. I'll leave you a link to the Google Books reference here. I'll add the citation upon your satisfaction. Curlymanjaro (talk) 09:33, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
  • A "non-subscription source" simply means one that can be viewed online. I notice that you do not have URLs for any of the other sources you cited; if there are URLs, even for books that are not online, the URL should be included. I added the link you just provided to the source list, and verify the hook fact in it. Restoring tick per Makeandtoss' review. Yoninah (talk) 19:52, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
