Fulke Underhill
- ... that Fulke Underhill was hanged at Warwick in 1599 for poisoning his father, the owner of New Place, which had been purchased by Shakespeare?
- Reviewed: Hu Yepin
Created by NinaGreen ( talk). Self nominated at 19:27, 3 January 2014 (UTC).

The article was nominated within five days of creation, and is long enough. The hook is misleading. There are two dates of death in the article and there are two theories behind the subject's death - the hook and the lead of the article side with one theory. The article doesn't address how the other theory is incorrect. The hook suggests that Shakespeare owned the property at the time of Underhill's death - the article suggests the sale wasn't confirmed until 1602 and that there was doubt over the validity of the earlier "sale". The article is based on offline sources and given the internal discrepancies, I would be inclined to request evidence of what the sources actually say before approving this or another hook.

- I note that the nominator is currently blocked for a breach of ArbCom restrictions that ban her from editing any article related to Shakespeare, this nomination and the creation of this article appears to be a breach of those restrictions. Hack ( talk) 02:58, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Actually, almost all the sources are online; you and any other reviewer of the article can easily read what they say. NinaGreen ( talk) 20:43, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
