  • The article is new and long enough and is within policy (neutral, well cited, free of plagiarism/copyright violations based on numerous spot checks). The hooks are short enough and I think bother would be interesting to a broad audience. No citation is given, but Schumann 2008 (below and from article) covers both. I think the first hook is best, as Makeba is of more general interest, but the second hook is more interesting to me. Schumann, Anne (2008).
