• Comment: GoldenBootWizard276, please note you will need to supply a second QPQ because this is a double nomination. Thanks. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:44, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

@Dclemens1971: Done. GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 20:09, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

I take, will review in the next 24 hours.--Launchballer 20:14, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Lots to whinge about here I'm afraid @GoldenBootWizard276:. The two QPQs are not complete because they do not mention copyright or whether the hooks verify, but I'll accept them as you're new. Articles are new enough and technically long enough, although neither deserve lead sections and removing them will take them under 1500. Earwig is clean. Gauntlett contains uncited content, please reference. What makes either of these two meet WP:GNG, given that they each comprise two sources with one used for not very much at all?--Launchballer 23:41, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Some more sources have been added. GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 07:24, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

@Launchballer: status update? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 04:29, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Can't see anything wrong with either now.--Launchballer 05:06, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
