Improved to Good Article status by UndercoverClassicist (talk). Self-nominated at 19:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Émile Gilliéron; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Article recently promoted to GA. Article is long enough. The article is neutral. The article is sourced. Each suggested hook is cited in the article. There are no close paraphrasing concerns (mostly bibliographical). Hooks are accurate, sourced, and interesting... personally, I'd go with ALT0, as the inherent incongruity between 20th-century popular culture (as evinced in Vogue) and Minoan anthropology is genuinely eye-catching/head-turning. QPQ done. ——Serial Number 54129 14:40, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
