 * Symbol confirmed.svg Correct person credited and the article is new enough. Article is big enough and adequately referenced. QPQ performed. Main hook is in the article with a reference. The reference partially supports the hook. (But Los Angeles Herald fully supports it so I added it). alt1 hook is also in the article and supported on page 36 of the book. alt1 hook is short enough. No copyright violation found. Good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:32, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
