- article is new enough, long enough, not a copyvio (short passages similar to source fall under WP:LIMITED). QPQ done. Hook is interesting and is in article. Sourcing is a bit marginal in the sense that the article is extremely reliant on a single source, but it's okay enough for DYK. Hog Farm Talk 04:35, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

@John M Wolfson: Almost there. A comparatively small GA, but that's not an impediment; it just needs an alt tag and some comma removals and other cleanup. 7-day hold; ping me when done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:53, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie I have done all of what you suggested. In the future please feel free to make minor edits yourself; this applies to my featured content candidacies as well. In any event thank you for the quick and succinct review! – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:57, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
