Article is new and big enough. Correct person credited. referenced throughout. Controversy covered in a neutral way.
Original hook is short enough and covered in article with a reference. Content of reference confirm the hook. Hook alt1 is short enough and covered in article with a reference. QPQ performed. Good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:42, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Graeme Bartlett: Thanks for the review. Is the special date request (13 December) approved too? —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 10:12, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is up to the set builders. I suggest that the date be honoured, but I cannot control what happens! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:57, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
