 * Symbol confirmed.svg All three articles are long enough, recently expanded fivefold, and timely nominated. Interesting, neutral and appropriately referenced. Hook is short enough, interesting, mentioned in all three articles, directly cited in Midday jird, and verified in online reference. Spot checks did not reveal close paraphrasing. Picture is taken from one of the articles, and commons license seems to be ok. QPQ done Oceanh (talk) 00:11, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
