 * Symbol confirmed.svg. This article was moved into the mainspace on the correct date; is substantially longer than 1500 characters of prose; the article is scrupulously sourced; a quick plagiarism check only turns up "matches" for small, incidental phrases; many of the sources are Spanish-language, meaning that translation would avoid most close paraphrases; I spot-checked three Spanish-language sources and found no evidence of plagiarism; the hook is appropriately sized, interesting (especially given the attention given to cartel violence and the sheer wealth of information provided in the article for inquisitive readers), accurate, cited, and neutral; the reviewer reviewed another page per QPQ; and no image is presented here.
 * Well done! My only tweak to the hook was to unbold and unlink the question mark. This article is excellent and almost certainly ready for the GA process as it currently stands (and, even, with strong potential for the featured article process after that, if you choose to take it there). Special kudos are in order for archiving every citation, which I think should be considered an essential part of ensuring long-term verifiability of online sources. —BLZ · talk 03:36, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
