 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. No copyvio detected. Hook is interesting, but I can't find a source that directly supports it. Only the lead mentions it's praised as one of the best entries, without a source. Also needs QPQ. -Zanhe (talk) 04:02, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Does not explicitly say "best", but critics agree that it is one of the better (or best if you will) entries in terms of its "powerful theme and the sheer gruesomeness of its detail". Have tweaked original hook for clarity. Thanks! Kingoflettuce (talk) 05:58, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg At 251 characters, the hook is way too long; 200 is the absolute maximum. Please provide an ALT hook that is within the allowed length. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:39, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
