... that organist and choirmaster Albert Ham banned women from singing in the choir at the Cathedral Church of St. James for more than 30 years?

I will review this in the coming week! WatkynBassett (talk) 05:57, 19 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
The article was created on 18 September 2026 and nominated on the same day; it is thus eligible.
The article is sourced. I did three spot checks (The Canadian Encyclopedia, Empire Club of Canada) and the references checked out.
The article is written in a neutral and non-promotional tone.
Earwig did not pick up anything worthy of note.
Two QPQs were provided. Under the assumption that you continue the reviews if your respective concerns have been addressed, I think this is valid.
The hook is nice and I think the 30 years era not too much conjecture even if the source does not explicitly mention 30 years. I approve the hook! Thank you for creating free knowledge! WatkynBassett (talk) 06:22, 19 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
