This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used, but I think the original hook is the most interesting for the general reader. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:53, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
