- Article is new enough at time of nomination and is long enough. Not very familiar with the sources used, but not seeing any red flags. Spot-checked the cites for the hooks and a couple other spots and didn't see close paraphrasing or problematic sourcing. ALT0 is probably my favorite of the hooks. A QPQ has been done. Should be good to go. Hog Farm _Talk 03:57, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
