  • Article was moved to mainspace today and is easily long enough, hooks are properly sourced and no copyvios. A colourful character alright. I like ALT1 the most. The lead says he corresponded with John Lennon in 1970, while the body says 1969 - which is right? Also, I think it would be helpful to describe Vasin in the hook (eg: Beatles collector) as it's not obvious why he would want to erect a 210 foot statue of Lennon.

Thanks for the review Ritchie333. I have corrected the date in the article (it was 1970) and added "Beatles-ologist" to the hooks, though am happy for "Beatles collector" or whatever to be used as well - Dumelow (talk) 10:26, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
In that case, ALT1 is good to go. Oh, and the image has a proper and compatible free licence. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:28, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
