Hi Zeromonk, review follows: article moved to main space 28 September; article exceeds minimum length; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources (though I note the two newspaper articles are actually identical, just printed in two different papers); hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to the sources cited; QPQ has been done.
I do however have some issues with the level of close paraphrasing from the newspaper sources. Some examples which are identical to the source:
"the only daughter of Captain Arthur Bagot, MC and Mary Bagot"
"was educated at Leith Academy, Edinburgh and from 1954 at [they city's] Mary Erskine School for girls, [Edinburgh]. She obtained an MA in psychology and philosophy from the University of Edinburgh and a diploma in sociological studies from"
"up housekey a web based directory of housing support services"
"she argued with Colonel Gaddafi about the quality of [proposed new] housing"
The article needs to be read through against the newspaper article and checked for similar. If these can be remedied this should be OK - Dumelow (talk) 10:12, 30 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks @Dumelow: for the review - I’ve rewritten the sections of concern and found some more sources. Zeromonk (talk) 07:35, 2 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
A fact from Patricia Bagot appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 October 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that housing expert Patricia Bagot argued with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi over the quality of housing in Libya?
