 * ... that the Philippe Starck-designed A has been described as both "the most extraordinary yacht launched in recent memory" and "one of the ghastliest megayachts ever created"?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go. Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, hook is properly referenced. -- Supernova Explosion   Talk  08:41, 23 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg The "the most extraordinary yacht launched in recent memory" in the hook is sourced to this blog which doesn't appear reliable. I've pulled the hook from prep. SmartSE (talk) 21:46, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I believe the quote first appeared in an article in The Sunday Times on 20 July 2008: "Andrey Melnichenko's battleship heads to sea" by Maurice Chittenden. Unfortunately News International newspaper archives aren't freely available, but I think this is it if you have access to them. In the meantime, I've add a citation to the ST article, albeit without a URL. Is that sufficient? --DeLarge (talk) 00:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I checked factiva and that quote is indeed found in that article (with a slightly different title). I've removed the blog and another one, but now the article is good to go. SmartSE (talk) 21:33, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
