• The article is long enough and new enough with no copyright violations. The article is neutral. The hook is directly cited, and a QPQ is not needed. My only concern is the last reference because the website Before the Needles is a personal website according to the home page. SL93 (talk) 23:28, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

• The source is question has been removed. The claim made in that section was already cited by a valid secondary source and remains as such. GuyBanks (talk) 05:07, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
