• The article is definitely new enough and clearly long enough. I see no issues with neutrality and everything is properly cited, including the hook suggestions. I checked via the Copyvio Detector and everything looks good. I'd say going with Alt1 would be best, as it is the most clear and least cluttered option, while still retaining importance and interest. And you don't need the QPQ requirement because this is only your 4th DYK nomination. So it looks like everything is good to go. Silverseren^C 04:11, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
