ALT1: ... that American Samoan legislator Pulu Ae Ae Jr. was known for his "outbursts" which were described as "the stuff of legend"? Source: quote from Samoa News

Comment: ~~To do the two QPQs within 24 hours.~~ If the initial hook isn't considered interesting, I added a ALT hook with just one of the articles.

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

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Only a few issues. For Pula: ref doesn't say "for several months in 2014" but "intermittently"; maybe "a second time"?; first Republican governor isn't supported by source. For Pulu: Ref doesn't mention Maʻopūtasi County.
Neutral: - Only one issue: not sure calling him an "important figure" is due since the extraordinary claim is sourced to his campaign site, maybe "involved" is preferred.
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Whoa, the whole Pula-Pulu thing is catchy! I'm preferring ALT0. Pula is 3312 and Pulu is 2705; Pula moved to mainspace and Pulu created, both on 20 Nov (a week before nom). Earwig gives Pulu Ae Ae Jr. a 41.2% score, but it's mostly quotes. Everything else is good. @BeanieFan11: fix these issues and you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 20:58, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Miraclepine: Thanks for the review. Changed the Pula 2014 mention, removed first Republican governor (appears true, but I don't see a source pointing it out), also removed the county, since I can't remember where I got that from. As for the "important figure" part, he's redlinked at Leone, American Samoa for being "the first Samoan Director of Education" and cited to a book on the 'heroes and history makers of American Samoa' – so it seems accurate. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 04:28, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: Everything else is good, but yeah, I don't feel comfortable citing the "important figure" superlative stuff to what's technically promotional content, so I'd prefer adding that cited info from the Leone article to the article as a compromise. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:37, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Miraclepine: Does this work? BeanieFan11 (talk) 04:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: That's good enough. I'm AGFing that source so

ALT0 approved. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:42, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
