 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article was created less than seven days ago (26 February 2017‎) at the time of its nomination; contains ~2757 characters of readable prose; contains inline citations (and the hook statement is appropriately cited); offline citations can be accepted in good faith. QPQ done. Earwig shows that violation is "unlikely." Hook strikes me as interesting enough and appropriate according to guidelines. Well done. — AJDS talk 09:53, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
