|comments = Hello {{u|Zeete}}, happy to review this nomination. The article was created on 14 February 2025. Its readable prose size is 2388 characters. Each paragraph is sourced. The language of the article remains neutral. WP:EARWIG shows no copyvios. The hook is interesting and supported by the source. There are some minor issues with the paragraph in the section "Personal life" since the text does not make it explicit that the names listed there are his children and later uses the last name "Demarest" to refer to David even though it could also refer to his children. This could be avoided by starting the sentences with "Among their children, James S. N. Demarest became...", "Another son, William Henry Steele Demarest, served...", and "David D. Demarest died on June 21, 1898...".

• 16px Thanks, that takes care of the remaining concern. Phlsph7 (talk) 12:36, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
• I pulled this hook for later because of too many US hooks being in one prep. SL93 (talk) 20:07, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
