Hi Guerillero, review follows: article created 11 January; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I found no overly close paraphrasing from the sources cited; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, I can't access the Union Leader article as they have prevented it from being displayed in the EU but happy to AGF this based on the quote provided above; image is freely and appropriately licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. I don't see any problems here - Dumelow (talk) 11:04, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
