This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline as far as I can see; any of the hooks could be used but I prefer ALT1. The image is suitably licensed, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:19, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
