New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Sources check out at least from the available previews and are present in the article; both hooks are interesting, and I definitely like #1. @Binksternet: The sentence ending in "Poupée De Porcelaine (Porcelain Doll)" needs an inline citation. Ping me when this is supplied. Raymie (t • c) 21:44, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Raymie, I added a tiny bit about Poupée De Porcelaine from a French book source, noting that the lyricist for the song's French version was Pierre Delanoë. Binksternet (talk) 22:36, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then this can be given a tick! Raymie (t • c) 22:45, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
