QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new and long enough. QPQ done. Earwig detects "possible violation", but this is only because of material properly quoted within article. ALT0 is good to go. ALT1 needs a little work. Instead of piping in "Pasadena's...", it would be better for clarity if the syntax was modified to note that the suicide spot is in the city. Also, "notorious" needs to be cut per MOS:PEACOCK and MOS:LABEL. However, if the description were attributed to a source, then it could be used. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 02:54, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since ALT0 is ready to go, I'm approving that one. Good work on this interesting article! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 17:30, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
