 * Symbol possible vote.svg It's great to see an article saved from speedy deletion, but I'm not really convinced by the sourcing, here. The Hunterdon County Democrat is alright, but none of the other three strike me as reliable. Josh Milburn (talk) 09:11, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'm still not really sold on the sourcing, but this isn't GAC. Expansion new enough and extensive enough. Source for hook and ALT1 OK, source on ALT2 not OK. I prefer ALT1. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:48, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
