5x expanded by Lajmmoore (talk). Self-nominated at 07:54, 14 August 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Sufficiently expanded and well-sourced article. QPQ is done, and there is no copyvio threat. The hook is also catchy, in-line sourced, and I would accept it in AGF. The image also passes qualifications. However, I have to request a clarification: The hook says that "specially selected pigs" (plural) were sacrificed, whereas the article only talks about "a specially selected pig" (singular). Which is correct? Applodion (talk) 21:02, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
