New enough and long enough, article is well cited, the hook is neat and has an online citation, can find no copyvio problems &c. Image is public domain. Ready to go. Moonraker (talk) 03:33, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * NB, the above relates only to Surplice. If Champion is added, that will need to be reviewed too. Moonraker (talk) 03:41, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
