The boldlinked article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, Earwig detected it as copyvio-free and it is presentable. The hooks are cited to a reliable source, short enough and interesting (I personally find the main hook more interesting than the alternative). There are no images in the boldlinked article, so image-related issues aren't a concern. QPQ has been done. From what I can tell, there are no subjective issues. @Legoktm: Interesting article, good job! 7kk (talk) 23:46, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
