Article created 1 November; article is of sufficient length; article cited throughout to very reliable sources; no copyright violations apparent - there is some similarity to the Independent article but this is mainly common expressions and names so ius not of a concern; hook is interesting and citation checks out and is covered in the article. Looks good to me, nice work - Dumelow (talk) 00:12, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
