Article is new enough and long enough, no QPQ required. The wording for ALT0 doesn't quite work, but ALT1 is quite hooky. I would suggest providing the flag of New Atlantis as a potential image. Otherwise, happy to approve ALT1 once the nominator comments. CMD (talk) 10:16, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
