General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looks good to go. I'd prefer ALT0, followed by ALT2. ALT1 seems a little too targeted, while ALT3 is a bit too obvious. I also think the article could use a table with basic features (similar to the one in the Bloomberg citation). SounderBruce 21:15, 23 April 2019 (UTC) SounderBruce 21:15, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
