- Article: Created within the last week, long enough, neutral enough and well sourced (I can't access the offline sources, but I've done a web search and verified the existence and broad assertions of the sources that seem to support the article).
- QPQ: Checks out
- Hook: Due to the fact that the sources are offline I'm not confident about approving the first hook. I am happy to approve ALT1 which is neutral, interesting, supported by sources and in an appropriate format.
Would you like me to give a tick to ALT1 or would you like me to try harder to verify your original hook? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pi (talk • contribs) 23:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
