Y Article is long enough (3371 characters), new enough (moved to mainspace 8 March, nominated on 9 March), and article is within policy.
Y Hooks are all short enough, interesting, well-cited, and in the article. I prefer ALT0 or ALT2.
Y QPQ exempt
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:25, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
