• @Chetsford: It has been four days since the nomination, yet no QPQs have been provided. As QPQs are required at the time of the nomination, this will be closed within 24 hours if no QPQs are provided (as this is a double hook, two QPQs will be needed).

Thanks for the reminder - now updated. Chetsford (talk) 05:30, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. This is ready for a full review. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:39, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

• @Chetsford: These articles, created on 7 and 9 Feb, are new enough, long enough, well-sourced, copyvio-free in text, and BLP compliant. However, the image is a problem, as the picture of the Canadian neuroscientist does not appear to be CC-BY-SA. I have tagged this image and the image it is derived from for PROD. Please let me know if you have this licensing information and want to contest this proposed deletion. Tenpop421 (talk) 22:37, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

After a brisk discussion at Chetsford's user page, I've removed the PROD tags. However @Chetsford: would you be willing to run this without the image? The copyright issue is still not fully resolved, and honestly I think ALT1 is funnier without the clarification. Tenpop421 (talk) 23:05, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

That sounds good to me - thanks, Tenpop421! Chetsford (talk) 23:07, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Alright, image removed. The QPQ is done, both hooks are interesting and sourced. My preference is for ALT1. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 23:09, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
