-->New enough, long enough, within policy, the hook is short enough (only 190 or so characters), and I thought the hook was VERY interesting! QPQ was done and no image is attached. All in all I think it is good to go and I think it may also be interesting for the July 18th date. Good work to nominator. Kmwebber (talk) 14:55, 5 July 2017 (UTC)Kmwebber
