 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article long enough, created within time, well cited, neutral in tone. QPQ done. Earwig's tool shows some similarity of phrases but looking closer show that they are mainly for the long titles of the associations he's been involved with. Both hooks are of correct size, and supported by inline references. I don't have a preference on which hook runs, both seem about equal to me. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:39, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks ! Just FYI, on review I'm striking my own ALT1 - I started to look to see if NCBPS itself needed an article, and then discovered that while it was very active in the 90s it seems to have petered out as an annual event after 2004, at least under that name. Seems kind of depressing to use the main page to highlight a now-defunct minority outreach event. Opabinia regalis (talk) 22:43, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
