• (Not a full review) A QPQ review appears to be needed before this can move forward. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:04, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

• This article is new enough and long enough, and a QPQ has now been done. Approving ALT0, ALT1, ALT3 and ALT5. The other hooks seem less satisfactory but may be OK. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:44, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
