A fine looking article - well done. DYK length is good - 6833 characters (1128 words) "readable prose size". New enough - the article was created on February 14, 2019 and nominated on February 17. Copyright vio detector found nothing to be concerned about. The article seems to conform to all policies. The hook is fine and a good length. It is sourced from a Norwegian language article, and I don't speak Norwegian, but Google Translate gives "...Norway's estimated species number of approx. 60,000..." which is what we need.

- I found a better support for the hook in section 5.5 of the source: "The total species count for Norway, including the marine environment, is estimated at around 60,000 (excluding bacteria and viruses)..." Gronk Oz (talk) 12:38, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
