 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (though written on 10 February, it seems, and not 9 February, but it doesn't matter), long enough, well written and within policy. Hooks are both good but I would go for ALT 1. I've no idea who Jamie Heaslip and much less who his father was and would go for a broader approach with the ALT hook - but it's a pure matter of taste. Interesting article, great job! Yakikaki (talk) 11:10, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
