Only just scrapes the number of characters but otherwise fine, no copyvios, but problem with hook is it makes it sound like a coincidence rather than it being named after it. If there is an alternate hook I would be happy to approve. Rcsprinter (speak) No, I'm Santa Claus! @ 13:05, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Yup, meteorites do seem to lend themselves to small articles; there are several that didn't make the character count at all. Good point about the hook though, how about: ALT 1: "... that the Itqiy meteorite fell near a hamlet in Western Sahara after which it is named?" -Arb. (talk) 18:20, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Fine to go then. Rcsprinter (post) @ 16:54, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
