  • The article is new enough and long enough. I have no access to the sources for the hooks so AGF on that. I personally prefer the first hook myself. The nominator only has three nominations including this one so a QPQ is not required. However, the article is in dire need of a copyediting. Multiple sentences in the article read awkwardly. The "Publication" section may also need wikifying. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:03, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Narutolovehinata5:, for the review, I have copy edited the article a bit in the mean time.Gazozlu (talk) 18:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article is improved but it still needs more copyediting. I suggest making a request at WP:GOCE so that the nomination can proceed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:28, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just an update, the copyedit request on WP:GOCE is pending.Gazozlu (talk) 23:03, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Verified the first hook. Good to go. BorgQueen (talk) 15:18, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"while Scott Morrison was the Prime Minister he abolished the COAG and replaced it by the National Cabinet. It is unclear if the current national cabinet administers the ABCB." needs a citation. SL93 (talk) 05:06, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Utterly ridiculous. Under no circumstances are we going to run a passive-voice hook ("has been criticized") sourced to a PhD dissertation, much less a dissertation citing a random focus-group member. Same for the other hooks. Out of the question. EEng 05:57, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes indeed; I stand corrected. Should I close this nom? BorgQueen (talk) 19:06, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Well speaking as a bit of a building-codes geek myself, I really wish there was something we could find to say about the subject that would be "likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest", but AFACS it's a topic of exemplary dullness. Like watching paint dry, you might say. I'm glad your wrote the article, because it deserves to be covered, but I don't see it as DYK material. EEng 22:36, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    For the record: I didn't write the article. I'm just a nom-closing admin. :-D BorgQueen (talk) 02:27, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
