Hi there,
VirreFriberg, and welcome to DYK! (Hi to you too,
Graearms :)) While this is an "among the first" hook – as opposed to a pure "first" hook, which requires strong sourcing – i'm not quite sure that this hook has the necessary sourcing to back up its claim.

WP:RS – can the sourcing be improved?
