The article is new enough and long enough. It has a neutral tone and in-line citations. Most of the sources are news articles. QPQ done. The hook is interesting to a wide audience and I was able to verify the source. I think it's a really well done and interesting article. October(BYU) (talk) 20:12, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
