General: Article is new enough and long enough |

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: The article is in excellent shape and have no concerns about in terms of length and newness. The three hooks are all sourced but I prefer ALT0, mainly since ALT2 relies on an unreliable source for the hook information (Know Your Meme), and ALT0 seems to be most interesting between it and ALT1. No QPQ needed as the creator/nominator has less than 5 DYK nominations in the past. The picture I also approve since it's in the public domain, clear, and used in the article. I have no other concerns about the article or the hook. Good work on "Blinking Sam", the three of y'all! :P ~ Tails Wx 19:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
