Let's see: article, yes — clearly new (and good!), long enough, and within policy. Hook is short enough and certainly intriguing (and true). Image is free, fair use, and shows up well when small. (I've also taken the liberty of importing it into Commons.) Excellent work! — Javert2113 (Siarad.|¤) 15:33, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
