New enough and long enough. QPQ done. But there's a problem with the sourcing, both in the article and in the hook. The source says it's the "official image for popular devotion": that is, the church has recognized that this image is the one that should be used by lay people when they are performing acts of devotion to the sacred heart. "Popular devotion" means devotion by the people rather than by the church hierarchy. Ignoring your bad grammar (although that should be fixed too) your hook says instead that it's "popular [as / for being] the official image for devotion", meaning something else entirely, that it is the official image for all devotion, and is widely liked because it is official. "Popular for ..." or "popular as ..." means that something is widely liked, for the reason described next. Because they mean such different things, both the line in the article saying this and the hook are not verified by what their source says. Additionally, Earwig found a lot of similar phrasing between this new article and https://www.mdrevelation.org/the-most-famous-image-of-the-sacred-heart/, enough to make me think that it is close paraphrasing rather than coincidental similarity of wording. Additionally, one of the paragraphs of the article is sourced only to a commercial web site that offers copies of this image for sale, not acceptable as a reliable source. For that matter I'm also not convinced that mdrevelation.org is a reliable source on art history: what makes it reliable for this topic? Removing those two dubious sources would leave only one line of the article properly sourced, and that line isn't even about the same painting. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:32, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm withdrawing this nomination. I have a job to do for these months and I can't continue to handle this nomination and I'm busy in real life. JeBonSer ^{(talk | sign)} 13:13, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
