The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. I am approving the first hook as the most interesting and it is directly cited. A QPQ has been completed. The image is fine as free use. The only issue is that the last sentence needs to be referenced. SL93 (talk) 03:50, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

@SL93: I have added the requested reference.--Kev min § 16:12, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
