Article is new, long enough, sourced throughout. It appears neutrally written. Both hook facts are cited and supported by the citation, though ALT1 is not supported fully by the Time article, his stage name is in the book source. Duplication detector thinks copyvio is unlikely. QPQ is provided. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:12, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
