 * Symbol question.svg Length well over the minimum, created only 3 days before nomination. Nicely-written article, with all parapgraphs referenced.
 * I have verified the reference to the hook fact, but suggest that the use of the word "by some" in the hook is a little weaselly. It would be better to specify that it was christian missionaries who labeled it "evil". I propose ALT1, which incorporates this change.
 * All of the online references support the cited facts, and I AGF on the others. Several of them are more than passing mentions, but all of those I could read fall short of WP:GNG's requirement for "significant coverage". Maybe there is more coverage in the offline sources, but I note that while there are no hits on JSTOR, there are 19 hits on Google Scholar, which satisfy my notability concerns.
 * So if the hook can be clarified along the lines I suggest, this one is fine. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:24, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

 * ALT1 is clearer so makes sense; suggest capitalizing "christian". --Rosiestep (talk) 16:13, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go, with ALT2 which incorporates Rosiestep's correction of my mistaken capitalisation. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
