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: Done.

Overall: Article is long enough and was new enough at the time of creation. No copyvio and good sourcing throughout. Normally blogs aren't reliable enough to include as a source, but it looks like the author Derek Stadler is a respected researcher on the subject. Both hooks are cited and interesting. This one's ready! BuySomeApples (talk) 02:33, 25 June 2022 (UTC) BuySomeApples (talk) 02:33, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

@BuySomeApples: Thanks for the review!

I saw that Derek Stadler's blog is itself well-referenced to reliable sources (indeed reading more like a research report than a typical blog), so felt comfortable including it here. Additionally, I'll make another note here that I slightly prefer ALT1 (as it sheds more light on legally), though I'll let the coordinators decide. ComplexRational (talk) 00:20, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
