Article is new and long enough. Article is well-sourced, neutral, and only pings on Earwigs for some long proper titles. Hook is cited, short enough, and interesting. QPQ has been completed. Image is freely licensed, clear at a diminished size, and used in the article. Morgan695 (talk) 15:43, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
@LunaEclipse, Morgan695, and AirshipJungleman29: pulled, as no one responded to this message and it's in queue now :) will probably need a new hook. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:46, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

    - looks like the body of the article says they burned the notices? (see WP:HEADLINE) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 02:09, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
      - @Theleekycauldron: I've reworded the hook accordingly. 💽 LunaEclipse 💽 🌹 ⚧ ^{(CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST)} 11:30, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
        @LunaEclipse: Seems to check out. I'm sorry to jerk you around on this, but is this article notable under WP:NEVENT? There's no analysis-based coverage, it's all primary-source reporting, and all of the coverage seems to be from local or niche publications. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 08:56, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

        All right, it's not enough that I feel the need to send it to AfD myself, but would encourage the promoter to take a second look. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 20:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

this has gone upromoted for several weeks, for much of which time it was most visible at the top of WP:DYKNA. As no promoter has seen fit to place it in a prep (I'm involved), I'm marking it for soft rejection per WP:DYKTIMEOUT. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:26, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
