  • The page was moved to the mainspace on 9 November, so it is new enough. It is long enough. It has inline citations. It is neutral and does not seem to have copyright violations. I assumed good faith for the offline source. The other source verifies most of the article, but I couldn't find where it states that portions of the head and gaster are missing. Is it verified from the drawing on page 142? The hooks are short. I changed the text so that the hook fact is directly stated in the article and immediately followed by an inline citation. The nominator has done QPQ. This should be good to go if my question is answered. Gulumeemee (talk) 07:25, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
  • By definition, any nomination that should be good to go if a question is answered should not be given a tick, even an AGF one, because that means it is ready to be promoted as is. I've added a "?" icon; once the sourcing issue has been settled on the head and gaster matter, a tick can properly be given. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:55, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
  • @Gulumeemee: Yes, the head and gaster missing is based on the drawing of the holotype.--Kevmin § 13:48, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
  • The article is good to go. My question has been answered. Gulumeemee (talk) 03:53, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
