Article is new enough, long enough, and without major outstanding issues (though I understand the use of Template:Rquote isn't recommended by the MOS). QPQ is done. The first hook is cited to a Medium blog post, which can't be considered a reliable source. If it can't otherwise be corroborated I suggest removing the sentence from the article. ALT1 and ALT2 check out fine. Will leave to promoter to decide. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:13, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for that review. On your suggestion, I have removed the blog reference. StonyBrook (talk) 21:12, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
