New enough (moved to article space 20:05, 2 February 2013), long enough, sourcing appears fine, no BLP issues, hook 126 characters and content is fine, nom reviewed another article. However, the image does not show up well at small size. I suggest listing the image at Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Photography workshop to see if they can fix it. If not, the hook is good to go without the image. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 22:32, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

I've added a request for assistance from the graphics lab here. Should they not be able to assist me in improving the quality of this image in a timely manner, I would support listing the hook without the associated image. -- Caponer (talk) 22:49, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

JBarta did an extraordinary job correcting the image so that the scanning lines aren't as visible, thus making the portrait suitable for inclusion in both the article and the hook. --Caponer (talk) 00:19, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Hook with picture is good to go. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 02:52, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
