• Article was made on the 23rd, so is new enough. At over 15,000 characters, it is super long enough. The article properly uses in-line citations and the copyvio detector finds no issues. The hook is short enough, interesting (and disturbing), and is cited in-line for the relevant parts of the article. The QPQ has been done. Looks good to go! Silverseren^C 18:19, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
