New enough and plenty long enough. QPQ present. Hook facts check out and are in article. No textual issues. The NewspaperArchive article needed to be clipped for use; I've done that, Rachel Helps (BYU). (NPA tends to be a bit balky at clipping things, something I can appreciate having written articles with it myself.) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:00, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sammi Brie thanks for the review and for clipping the article! Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 21:07, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
