 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (replaced redirect) and long enough. Well cited (multiple per paragraph), neutral, no close paraphrasing detected. I didn't review ALT3 as I find it too wordy. Hook and Alt1 are both within length, verified in the sources, and otherwise acceptable. I did wikilink "ballooning" in the hook, and find it preferable (more interesting) than ALT1. Leaving for promoter to pick. Both needed format cleanup. QPQ not required. Image is clear, used in article, and freely licensed (nominators own work on Commons). Good to go.
