The article is long enough, new enough, and neutral with reliable sources. There are no copyright violations. There are a few issues. The part with "now-famous memo" has an external link, and external links should not be in the article's body. The last part of the Cancellation section needs to be referenced. As for the hook, the article actually says, "it would have been the premier supercomputer of the era". Conway likely was referring to the world, but the quoted words do no say that.
