Comment: The image mentioned here is only for ALT0. Inviting article contributor IDV to suggest additional hooks.

Improved to Good Article status by IDV (talk). Nominated by Narutolovehinata5 (talk) at 13:09, 16 October 2017 (UTC).

What stood out to me as I researched the series and wrote the article was definitely the Apollo and Daphne influence you mentioned. It's unusual and interesting, and it's what Hirohiko Araki's art is well-known for.--IDV^talk 13:36, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

This is a newly promoted GA and is long enough and nominated soon enough. ALT0 is preferred by the creator and has an inline citation but the other two hooks are also acceptable. The image is suitably licensed but is only suitable for use with ALT0. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:10, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: since only one QPQ is needed for this nomination, I have struck the second one. Please save it for a future nomination. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 17:21, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
