Long enough, was nominated around the same time that it was moved into article space so newness met, AGF on offline sources (including for hook citations), QPQ complete, copyvio check only sounded off on a long-titled book so all good on those fronts. The original hook is the most interesting of the four, though I figured it'd be reasonable to link "impressed" for clarity since not everyone knows what impressment is. Other than that, it looks good to go. Zappa⚡Matic 21:31, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
