A (yacht)
[edit]- ... that the Philippe Starck-designed A has been described as both "the most extraordinary yacht launched in recent memory" and "one of the ghastliest megayachts ever created"?

Good to go. Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, hook is properly referenced. --SupernovaExplosion Talk 08:41, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
- I believe the quote first appeared in an article in The Sunday Times on 20 July 2008: "Andrey Melnichenko's battleship heads to sea" by Maurice Chittenden. Unfortunately News International newspaper archives aren't freely available, but I think this is it if you have access to them. In the meantime, I've add a citation to the ST article, albeit without a URL. Is that sufficient? --DeLarge (talk) 00:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
