Oh, that's depressing yet not unexpected. AGF on the hook fact, as I'm unable to see it in snippet view. Article is new enough and long enough. Looks well sourced. Only thing flagged by Earwig is a long title, so no problems on that front. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:11, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
