Overall: 
Article is new enough, long enough, and appropriately neutral, with no sign of copyvio issues that I can see, and a good QPQ. I've lightly edited the hook to make it flow a little more smoothly. This article is ready to go for DYK! Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 21:14, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
- Bryanrutherford0, I don't agree with the changes you made to the hook. I'm not sure why you added "disputed" since the sovereignty has been decided since 2003. And I much prefer "island" to "cay" as an island whose height is only a half meter seems more interesting ("hooky"). The ICJ ruled it was an island. I propose: MB 01:58, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
