 * 5760 characters (1031 words) readable prose size; copyvio check passed. Either hooks fine, first hook is AGF since I don't have the book. Article is well sourced to reliable sources and well written. All good. Symbol voting keep.svg &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 20:33, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg I also reviewed it and we had an edit conflict. This article is new enough and long enough. Approving ALT1 as interesting and cited inline. The article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. I don't much like the original hook because, with the time of death so long after the injury, the fact seems less compelling.
