I'll leave this to another reviewer, but I think the best hooks here are ALT0 and ALT1 (no real preference between the two).

Epicgenius: Taking over. The expansion is quite notable and the sourcing is amazing. However, I don't know what to do with those red links. Alt 1 seems to me the most interesting as it talks about its creation (and how it almost wasn't). If there is a conflict of interest, ping me. Nice work with the article.

Your review seems incomplete as you didn't check all the criteria. Can you take a look at this again and check the other criteria you didn't mention?

There was an expansion of around 90,000 bytes, the lead is well organized, I managed to understand the prose and the sourcing well done. There haven't been editing editing wars or anything controversial. I would say there is even potential for a GA. My only problem are the red link. The QPQ indicates there aren't copyright violations.

Thanks for the comments
Tintor2. My understanding is that
WP:REDLINK allows red links so long as the topics actually are notable and verifiable (but don't have an article yet). There are a few red links in the article because I'm planning to create pages about these topics in the future. Regarding the QPQ requirement, I have to conduct a review of another nomination, but I have not done so yet. I would appreciate it if you could wait until I can provide a QPQ review, which I will do within the next few days.Epicgenius (
