General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - See below.

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: - needed
Overall: @Sahaib: Earwig found one major WP:CLOP (a copy-paste) which will need to be rephrased or quoted:

Info (as of this revision): He stated that his grandparents had lived in Cobb County and that his relatives had lived "up and down Veterans Memorial" formerly known as Bankhead Highway.

Ref: Owens said his grandparents had lived in Cobb County, and that his relatives had lived “up and down Veterans Memorial,” formerly Bankhead Highway.

Otherwise, the article looks good, and I'll approve it once the issue is fixed and the QPQ is done. ミラP@Miraclepine 02:43, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Miraclepine: done, thanks for the review. Sahaib (talk) 19:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sahaib: You got the QPQ, but the phrase is still not paraphrased enough since it still matches the word pattern from the same source. What do you think of this suggestion, which blends the info into the previous sentence per WP:FIXCLOSEPARA? Owens was raised in Robbins, North Carolina.[2][3] His grandparents lived in Cobb County, while his grandfather and father were both born in Columbus, Ohio.[3] Owens said that his relatives resided "up and down Veterans Memorial", at the time known as Bankhead Highway.[3] Once it's incorporated, I will give this nom the greenlight. ミラP@Miraclepine 20:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
