Article long enough and new enough, generally well-cited. Not entirely sure about the use of quotation marks in the title, but I can't say it's wrong either. Hook is verifiable, QPQ done, no copyvio detected. I'd say ALT1 is clearer. Juxlos (talk) 13:25, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was unsure about the use of quotation marks in the title. I veered towards using them as the sources state that the icon was not intentionally a Christmas tree, even though this is the common name for it, but I'm not fussed either way. Stricken original hook in favour of ALT1 as I agree that it's clearer. Thank you! 🙂 —🎄☃️❄️Season's greetings from AFreshStart! (talk)❄️☃️🎄 05:23, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
