@Dumelow: This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Approving ALT1 and ALT2 only. ALT0 needs to be rephrased so as to use "prohibited from" rather than "prohibited to". A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:37, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
