 * Symbol voting keep.svg One of these two articles is new and the other is five-fold expanded. They are new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. I prefer ALT1 as being more succinct. Two QPQs have been done.
