Not a review, but just a note that you can't say "murdering a women" in ALT1 if he was convicted of manslaughter. Saying "killing a woman" is acceptable, I think - Dumelow (talk) 09:41, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Also not a review, but you need to disambiguate to Crime Does Not Pay (comics) Catrìona (talk) 16:20, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Ah yes, I noticed that but forgot to do it before I signed off last night. Appreciate it. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 01:42, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

@Etzedek24: I'm approving ALT0. ALT1 is fine, but I think the gruesome details detract somewhat from the succinct ironic punch of the first hook's phrasing.

The article is new enough (first edit Aug 13 2018)
The article is long enough (prose section is ~2500 characters in length)
No neutrality, citation, or plagiarism issues (Earwig only picks up quoted, sourced passages and inconsequentially brief phrases)
The hook is well-formatted and brief (I italicized Crime Doesn't Pay since that how it's rendered on the article page itself; I count just over 100 characters in the hook as plain text);
The hook is interesting to a broad audience ("Crime Does Not Pay" is a well-known phrase, which should draw attention, and the wry irony of the hook reads loud and clear);
The hook is accurate, cited in the article, and neutral (per Dumelow's earlier remarks, manslaughter is not equivalent to murder, but with that correction the hook in its current form is substantively correct and neutral. It does not concern a living person.)
... and finally, nominator is exempt from QPQ. Well done! —BLZ · talk 02:27, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
