The article is new enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. I did not find any close paraphrasing and a QPQ has been provided. I'm only approving the first hook as the second hook is less interesting and more complicated; it is a "first" hook, but the sourcing required for the claim isn't exceptional and so it should be acceptable in this case. My only sticking point is that the Embassy isn't reopening until next year, so I'm not sure if the hook should instead say "was", but I'll leave it to the promoter to decide.

- Thank you, Narutolovehinata5. The Embassy is reopening this year, not next year, so I would argue that the language is appropriate, but a revision to "was" would be fine too and, as far as I know, should fit in either instance. --Sky Harbor (talk) 11:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
