Article is new enough (the time spent in draftspace doesn't count). Enough readable prose. Article seems neutral and the lead is constructed from information found elsewhere in the article. Some of the sources are inaccessible (I'll assume that they are reliable and back up the statements), the "that are too unstable to be uphauled." needs a source. Otherwise everything seems to be backed up although I don't know anything about their reliability. Copyright/Plagiarism-wise there is one backwardscopy that is of no concern to us; nothing else to see. Hook is not too long, appropriately formatted and sourced. QPQ is done. Image is used, no questions about licensing and it shows up well at small size.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: I removed the "that are too unstable to be uphauled" part from the article, as it was unverified. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:51, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

then, per my previous note re accessibility of sources.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:53, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
