• So, I've checked this against the criteria. It's new, long enough, and neutral. Everything's cited to books, so I can't check for paraphrasing, but, I can AGF.
• I checked whether the subject existed, and found [1] - so, check on reliability.
• Hook checks, but it's actually way understated. The source says first British patent for a board game, which is a much bigger thing. Since the point is a hook, I'd suggest removing the word "musical"? otherwise. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.8% of all FPs} 03:05, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article creator and main contributor has been promoting Anne Gunn and related to Swedish, Scottish and so on. And hiding the promotion intention through editing other articles. And the references are lack of notability and lack of resources.

Yes, I'm sure they have a vested interest in promoting a long dead person. PRAXIDICAE💕 19:15, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
