Note to 4meter4: the backlog only requires one extra QPQ for each nomination, not for each article, so you only need to provide 4 QPQs, not 6. (If you prefer to provide 6, that's fine, but you don't have to.) Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:50, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset Thanks for clarifying; I will remove two of them to use elsewhere. Thanks.4meter4 (talk) 02:18, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4: All new, long enough, well sourced, no apparent copyvio. Two small suggestions:
- Murphy: his final Broadway musical: technically not verified by source and not that WP:BLUE. And see bit below.
- Gumble: OK, see below too.
- Red Pepper: (in all articles) caught some critics by surprise/some reviewers: I get that it's probably true, but the source refers only to one of its appraisals. "At least one critic" might work?
