Article meets DYK requirements, is free from close paraphrasing (the 35.9% score that Earwigs gives appears to be a false positive as the "copied" content is actually just proper nouns), and a QPQ has been provided. ALT0 and ALT2 are the best hook and both are cited inline and verified, although I personally I have a slight preference for the first hook. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:55, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
