Article is
neutral, meets the
required length, and is
sufficiently referenced—created on 30 January, the same day as this nomination. Hooks are succinct, neutral, and reliably sourced; they're both interesting, but I'd say ALT1 is probably more accessible for general readers. AGF on offline sources.
