Hi
Ficaia, review follows: article created 15 October and I count that it just makes it over the 1,500 character minimum; sources used look to be reliable; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing and text taken from the PD version of the DNB is correctly attributed; hook is interesting but I have a query, is the subdivision into provinces in 1303 specific to the organisation of the Carmelite order? I believe the two ecclesiastical provinces of York and Canterbury predate this by some centuries. You look to be exempt from the QPQ requirement, but you'll need to resolve the orange "orphan" tag before this can progress -

Dumelow: The subdivision was specific to the organisation of the Carmelite order in England and Scotland, as is made clear in the updated ODNB but not in the old DNB. I've updated the article and the proposed hook accordingly. Thanks for pointing that out.

Good stuff, if you can resolve the orphan tag I think this will be good to go -

Ficaia. Sorry, just noticed that the hook is now too long, it needs to be below 200 characters -
