Comment: ~~To do the two QPQs within 24 hours.~~ If the initial hook isn't considered interesting, I added a ALT hook with just one of the articles.

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

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Only a few issues. For Pula: ref doesn't say "for several months in 2014" but "intermittently"; maybe "a second time"?; first Republican governor isn't supported by source. For Pulu: Ref doesn't mention Maʻopūtasi County.
Neutral: - Only one issue: not sure calling him an "important figure" is due since the extraordinary claim is sourced to his campaign site, maybe "involved" is preferred.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Whoa, the whole Pula-Pulu thing is catchy! I'm preferring ALT0. Pula is 3312 and Pulu is 2705; Pula moved to mainspace and Pulu created, both on 20 Nov (a week before nom). Earwig gives Pulu Ae Ae Jr. a 41.2% score, but it's mostly quotes. Everything else is good. @BeanieFan11: fix these issues and you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 20:58, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

@Miraclepine: Thanks for the review. Changed the Pula 2014 mention, removed first Republican governor (appears true, but I don't see a source pointing it out), also removed the county, since I can't remember where I got that from. As for the "important figure" part, he's redlinked at Leone, American Samoa for being "the first Samoan Director of Education" and cited to a book on the 'heroes and history makers of American Samoa' – so it seems accurate. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 04:28, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: Everything else is good, but yeah, I don't feel comfortable citing the "important figure" superlative stuff to what's technically promotional content, so I'd prefer adding that cited info from the Leone article to the article as a compromise. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:37, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

@Miraclepine: Does this work? BeanieFan11 (talk) 04:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: That's good enough. I'm AGFing that source so

ALT0 approved. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:42, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
