Good to go. Length and age both meet criteria. The hook is hooky and the hook fact is referenced to a reliable source, i.e. The Independent newspaper [1]. The same source was used in page 27 of a briefing paper from the House of Commons Library.
The article is detailed and well-written in a neutral tone, which appears to meet the good article criteria. All paragraphs are referenced, and all separate points within them are referenced. Apart from the hook reference, I have checked a sample of the online references, and all support the facts stated. The article avoids BLP concerns in relation to the convicted killer by avoiding any commentary other than the remarks of the judge in passing sentence. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
