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

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

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

QPQ: None required.

Overall: The hook is interesting and cited. This article is new enough, sourced and (barely) meets length requirements. ~~However, there is a little too much close paraphrasing.~~ Once this is fixed it looks ready to be promoted. (P.S. I piped the article title in the hook to make it a little shorter and punchier.) BuySomeApples (talk) 02:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
