Created by SamBlob (talk). Self nominated at 15:22, 12 May 2013 (UTC).
- New article moved from mainspace a couple days ago, 2315 chars
- QPQ done
- Images are PD
- Hook is sufficiently brief, and verified
- Article is cited inline
- Sources look sufficiently reliable. The book seems a little light on the scholarship end, but it isn't an essential source for too much of the article.
- Sources verify my spotchecks of the article, and duplication detector found no significant copying or paraphrase
- Issues/Suggestions
- For the hook, it might make it more interesting to give Indian's reason, making Harley-Davidson's decision look foolish
- ALT1 = "... that in 1917, the year Indian discontinued its Model O flat-twin motorcycle (pictured) because of poor sales, Harley-Davidson introduced a flat-twin motorcycle?" What is your opinion of this hook?
- Looks good to me; I have no objection to it. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 01:59, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
