 * Symbol question.svg This impressive article is massively expanded. It is new enough and long enough. The hook is cited to a Spanish language source but, using Google Translate, I do not see the hook fact fully mentioned there. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:07, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * You are right. That was actually meant to be a support reference for the sentence. The main reference for the hook was meant to be this article, in particular its analysis of free association's performance: "Por ejemplo, ¿habría alcanzado el ELA soberano  (libre asociación) 449,679 votos si hubiese competido directamente con el ELA en la segunda pregunta? En el plebiscito de 1998, la libre asociación sólo obtuvo 4,536 votos. Claro que en aquella consulta no solo compitió con el ELA – en una definición que tampoco respaldó el PPD -, sino con la alternativa ganadora “Ninguna de las Anteriores”. [...] De todos modos, independientemente de sus motivos, la decisión de casi 450,000 electores de votar por el ELA soberano fuera de la cláusula para territorios de la Constitución de Estados Unidos genera entusiasmo entre los sectores que defienden la soberanía." - El Alternativo (talk) 04:45, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * It is now incorporated to the article. El Alternativo (talk) 04:59, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is new enough and long enough. I believe the hook fact is now properly cited and this nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:00, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
