New enough (created January 9), long enough (2,279 characters), neutral, well sourced (though ref 2 should probably be more than a bare URL), spot check of 4 refs showed no copyvio/close paraphrase problems, hook is quite short, content is true and cited in ref 13, QPQ not done yet.

That's pretty much what I figured. Alright, I can support that. I've stricken ALT2. Original and ALT hooks are good to go. BobAmnertiopsis∴ChatMe! 15:46, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
