- Technically the Frick is allowed to lend out art acquired after H. C. Frick died. How about this: Epicgenius (talk) 15:47, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Overall: GA from two days before nom. Looks good to me. Prefer ALT0 since I'm sure people will get what "namesake" means. ミラP@Miraclepine 18:46, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's not a case of knowing what "namesake" means, but wondering what it means here: ... that the Frick Collection is not allowed to lend out the Frick Collection's art?? Johnbod (talk) 00:24, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Johnbod: I know; I just forgot to be clear on that the first time. I actually considered while reviewing this nom that the redundancy behind the hook's meaning is what makes it the most interesting. ミラP@Miraclepine 23:26, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Well, it doesn't work for me, I must say. Johnbod (talk) 02:33, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
