• The article is long and new enough. The hook is interesting and supported by a reliable source. No copyvio was observed. But I am not happy with Refs 8 and 9. Per WP:SCHOLARSHIP: "Masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence." Can you enhance the sourcing please? --Mhhossein ^talk 12:40, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

• @Mhhossein: I replaced the thesis with a different journal and added another one that I also came across. - Aoidh (talk) 14:04, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

alright @Aoidh:, But wait; I don't want to be too meticulous, but when we say "studies" show sth, we need to cite more than one study concluding the same thing or alter the hook so that it does not convey an inaccurate meaning. Let me know your choice. --Mhhossein ^talk 14:30, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

@Mhhossein: I reworded it so that it showed the exact number of studies being referenced. - Aoidh (talk) 00:41, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

• Good to go with the proposed hook. --Mhhossein ^talk 14:07, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
