Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hooks are interesting and supported by inline references. I find ALT0 more interesting, while ALT1 is a bit too long (Evans' name could be omitted as he's not notable). QPQ is done. No copyvio found. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 09:20, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
