Article is long enough, qualifies for 5x expansion, and has no evidence of copyvio. QPQ checks out too. The hook is cited in article and is interesting; tho i'll have to AGF on it. The fact it crossed both 10 million and 100 million in sales is interesting, but I can't think of a way to include both in a hook. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 04:27, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Generalissima: I didn't mention this simply because I was concerned about the hook being too long, but looking at it now it seems too short. I think we could get away with "... to cross $10 million in total sales, and the first to cross $100 million as well?" Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:51, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
