- I mean, numerically it's over the limit, but as written, this article would deserve {{no lead}}, and one should be added.--Launchballer 19:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. Lots of good comments but nobody appears to have reviewed. So I guess I will take it on.4meter4 (talk) 22:50, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Article is new enough. It's long enough even after removing the large blocks of quoted text. Earwig did flag copyright violation, but this was due to the large blocks of quoted text which have been properly attributed and are within policy. No close paraphrasing or copyright found, and the article appears to be within policy in all other measures. Hook fact and length both check out for the original and Alt1 hooks. I leave it to the promoter to decide which hook wording they prefer to promote.4meter4 (talk) 23:03, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
