 * Symbol voting keep.svg The nomination was made on the day the article was promoted to Good Article status. The article is stable and adequately sourced; offline sources are accepted in good faith. I was unable to find any close paraphrasing or copyright violations. All hooks are interesting and cited inline. Article images are either adequately licensed or permitted under fair use. QPQ provided. This is good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:23, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Just an additional comment: while Doctor Who is unquestionably popular worldwide, not everyone might be completely familiar with it, and many might not even know what the TARDIS is, so my preference for a hook would be ALT2, as it would likely interest both fans and non-fans of the series.
