General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looks okay to me. All three hooks are wildly interesting (if I had to rank them, I'd say ALT1, ALT0, ALT2 based off of the "wackiness" factor), Earwig has nothing, everything looks sourced, and QPQ is done. AGF on the offline hook source. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:34, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
