5x expanded by Groupuscule (talk). Self-nominated at 12:08, 7 November 2017 (UTC).

  • Symbol voting keep.svg Sufficiently expanded three days prior to nomination, and with a single edit! It would have taken me 15 at least :) The article is twice as long as it needs to be to qualify. I see no neutrality or sourcing issues. The references are properly cited; I added one to the only unsourced piece of information and also made a few tweaks. I could not access the sources supporting the hooks, but I verified the hooks through a Google Books search. This also means I cannot confirm that there is no close paraphrasing, but I think we can assume good faith as the author/nominator is an experienced user. The images are all free of copyright violations.
    The hooks are all short and punchy, but Michelangelo should be linked. Surtsicna (talk) 12:50, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
