 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article was new enough at the time of its nomination, having been created on March 2. It's definitely long enough. It appears to be within policy, with a good neutral tone, and little chance of plagiarism or close paraphrasing ("violation unlikely" according to Earwig's tool). Citations are well distributed throughout. The proposed image looks fine at 100×100, is properly formatted, and looks to be out of copyright. However, there's a problem with the hook. I'm currently getting a "page unavailable" notice from the source that is supposed to be citing the hook fact, and for some reason it's the only source in the article that isn't formatted with all the usual fields included in a citation template --- in other words, it's a bare URL, and that doesn't fly. So, that source will need to be fixed before I can okay the nomination. — AJDS talk 11:16, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you, AJDS, for reviewing this nomination. I have fixed the issue you described.  It is odd that that bare Wilson URL showed up!  It was a live link at the time I put it in the article. ♥Golf (talk) 13:07, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg No problem at all. With that issue addressed (the new source checks out and is properly cited), the article looks good to go. — AJDS talk 13:14, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
