  • Long enough, new enough, within policy - neutral, well-sourced (AGF on the Norwegian sources), no copyvio issue. I feel ALT1 is more interesting for a public audience, and shorter too and the facts are from the article and cited (to Norwegian sources, accepted in AGF). QPQ is present, pinging Oceanh because it's him/her who did the review and not Manxruler who nominated this. Since he/she created the article, probably he/she's okay with this.
