  • The article was promoted to GA status less than 7 days ago, it's long enough. The hook is of appropriate length and meets the formatting guidelines, it is interesting and cited with an inline citation. The nominator has reviewed 1971 Qantas bomb hoax, so the QPQ criteria is met. This looks good to go. Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 02:15, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
