Article is new and long enough. No issues whatsoever with Earwig, article referencing looks solid, I don't have access to the journal articles which are used to source the hook but I'm prepared to AGF. Hook is definitely interesting. QPQ has been taken care of, so I think we are good to go. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:01, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Just a minor additional note (not going to hold up the nomination for this) - the comma in the hook should be removed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:02, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
  - Oops, good catch. Fixed. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 18:09, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
