• Article new enough and long enough with no copyvio detected - Earwig only flagged names of the various organizations. ALT1 and ALT2 verified in sources and are cited inline. @Epicgenius: specifically for ALT0, if I'm reading correctly Hoover attended the dedication in November 1961, not the opening in September 1961. Not going to hold up the nom, but you might want to change that word. Juxlos (talk) 14:16, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
