Geological history of Borneo edit
... that late in the geological history of Borneo, the Mount Kinabalu intrusion formed a laccolith that lifted sediments from the underlying basement rock?Source: Burton-Johnson ref

- Comment only Sorry, but I don't see how this hook would be "interesting" to a general audience. Is there anything else? Edwardx (talk) 01:15, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that the Crocker Fan in Borneo has the largest volume of any Paleogene deep marine sediment in a single basin in southeast Asia?
- Comment only Thank you, Graeme Bartlett, that is interesting. Now we just need someone to review it! Edwardx (talk) 12:19, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT1 hook is more interesting than the original hook and is cited inline. The article is neutral but lack of access to the sources prevented me from checking for plagiarism and close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:16, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Ran a Copyvio test and there's a 0% probability of plagiarism. So if that was the only issue left outstanding than this nomination is G2G! DaltonCastle (talk) 01:34, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, not quite there: the article only says "vast volumes," not "largest volume". The hook needs to be in the article. Vanamonde (talk) 10:20, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
I have added some more text to make sure the hook is there. The reference says this: The Crocker Fan of north Borneo (Fig. 1) is the largest volume of Paleogene sediment in a single basin in Southeast Asia, and was deposited during early stages of India-Asia collision. at Van Hattum, Marco W.A.; Hall, Robert; Pickard, April L.; Nichols, Gary J. (2006). "Southeast Asian sediments not from Asia: Provenance and geochronology of north Borneo sandstones". Geology. 34 (7): 589. Bibcode:2006Geo....34..589V. doi:10.1130/G21939.1. .
