Article is new enough (created 11/27) and long enough (approximately 2140 characters of narrative text, excluding the block quote). Earwig (here) detects no issues. It is generally well-written and sourced; one exception to that is the sentence which asserts in wiki-voice that the poem has also been proclaimed by Galtier, though "this seems apocryphal." I am not permitted full access to the Star Tribune piece without subscribing -- can you provide a quote that substantiates this claim? As for the hook, I find it quite interesting, and it's succinct and cited. QPQ is satisfied. @Darth Stabro: If you can provide the requested verification mentioned above, this will be ready to go.

Hi Cbl62, I've reworded the sentence and linked the source in a different way that should allow you to see it. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 16:41, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

The image has a PD license, shows up well at 100x100px, and adds to the hookiness in that a major city was named after this small log chapel. Cbl62 (talk) 14:23, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

With the revision/clarification above by Stabro, this is now good to go. Cbl62 (talk) 23:16, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
