Created by Mccunicano (talk). Self-nominated at 00:27, 2 November 2020 (UTC).
The article is new enough, having been created 1 day before nomination. At just over 2000 prose characters the article is 33% to the good regarding long enough. The article is neutral, with each sentence containing online citation. Earwig detected no copyright violation, and neither did my feeble attempts at translation, therefore consider this AGF. I do consider it very unlikely to be a structural violation given the sentence/source combination. The hook is within format. The hook fact is accurate to the source provided, however the fact is presented in a significantly different manner within the article than within the hook. The article says "some" were damaged, while the hook says "many". The sources says 70,000 items were damaged, which seems like "many" to me, but perhaps the collection was much, much larger which is why "some" was used. Anyway, this needs to be reconciled before it can be promoted. The hook is neutrally worded. I believe disaster tends to be interesting to a broad audience. QPQ complete. There is no image, so nothing to check against there. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:47, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
- @78.26: Thanks for your preliminary review. I've updated the text of the article so the hook shouldn't need to be altered. From the news source it seems the destruction of the artifacts was extensive. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 04:25, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
The issue is resolved. Both hooks are accurate to the source presented in the article, but I think ALT0a is the better hook, as it is less subjective and, I believe, more interesting. Interesting article deserving of mainspace exposure. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 18:32, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
