 * Symbol confirmed.svg The hook is cited to a few sources. One is dictionary.com, which is not ideal, but that source is useful for connecting some alternate names for the murmur and the academic source in the medical journal is a great source. The hook is interesting because not everyone gets to have a famous murmur named after them, and the hook is the right length. I am not sure about piping "Gibson murmur" to "heart murmur" - the Gibson murmur is a heart murmur but no information on the subject is available in that parent article. I suppose it is fine, because at least that article mentions the connection. Prose is 2000 characters, so more than 1500. The content is neutral and very nicely formatted. The article went live yesterday, so it is new. The Earwig tool found no copyvio. The image was vetted by a reputable archive so seems appropriately licensed. The submitter did QPQ by thoroughly reviewing a Yo Yo Honey Singh article. PASS!  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  02:36, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * There are four sources for the heart murmur and its name. Those include two journal articles. See footnote A. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 13:20, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hook supported by all these sources:
 * "Since the invention of stethoscope by Rene Laennec, auscultation has become sine qua non of clinical examination, especially for cardiovascular system. Many clinical signs are named after the first describer, as a tribute to their efforts. So is true for cardiac murmurs. ... The machinery murmur of patent ductus arteriosus was first described by George Alexander Gibson." “... in 1900, George Gibson presented a more precise description. "It persists trough the second sound and dies away gradually during the long pause. The murmur is rough and trembling. It begins softly and increases in intensity so as to reach its acme just about, or immediately after, the incidence of the second sound, and from that point gradually wanes until its termination.”  is named after him.
