 * Symbol confirmed.svg This seems to be GTG. The article is new enough, moved from the sandbox 6 days ago. It is long enough, 2911 characters. It is well cited, free of any copyvios that I can find. It had the slightest tendency to veer towards PEACOCK, but I have fixed this. Hook is short enough, meets the formatting guidelines that I am aware of, is BLP compliant, and is interesting. It did not have an inline citation, but it was in one of the cited sources, so I have duplicated that source. The QPQ is complete. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:32, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
