Long enough, recent enough, the article text is fine and there are just enough citations (cleaned up a couple of them). Either hook is OK by me, though I prefer the second one a little. No problem with the image. User has only made a single DYK nomination, so QPQ is fine. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 04:04, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
