Article length of ~5000 characters is alright for a new article. Age at 1 day is fine. No copyvio or plagiarism concerns. Reliable sources are used. Neutrally written. All three hooks check alright for being sourced properly. I like the original hook ALT0. QPQ has been done. Article is Good To Go.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:18, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
