The article is new, and is long enough (though not much over the character count -- I think there's plenty of scope here for expansion, just from a glance at some of the sources used, though I don't think that's a flaw). The tone is neutral and the statements are well sourced: I didn't detect any issues with close paraphrasing, etc. I like both hooks but share the nominator's preference for the Clementine hook, since the little basement detail is fun and well sourced. I'd say this is ready to go. Jwrosenzweig (talk) 06:35, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
