 * Symbol confirmed.svg This looks OK to me. The article is new enough, long enough and reliably sourced. The hook is interesting and is likewise sourced. I've made a few changes to fix a handful of minor issues but otherwise it's fie. Overall I'd say it's good to go. Prioryman (talk) 23:17, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
