Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. Hook is interesting and supported by inline reference (unfortunately I'm unable to access the source right now as there seems to be a technical problem with the website, showing every page as blank). QPQ is done. No copyvio detected. The only minor issue is that Ref #2 is a bare url. -Zanhe (talk) 06:34, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

@Zanhe: reference 2 is now templated.--Kev min § 12:52, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the ref, and I'm happy to report that the BHL website is now working again and I was able to verify the hook fact. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 19:00, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
