Hi Cwmhiraeth, review follows: article created 13 January; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing; hook is interesting (and terrifying!), mentioned in the article and backed up by the citation (I have now learnt the French for "gill"); a QPQ has been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 08:14, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
