• Hook is good and checks out, article is well-written and doesn't have any signs of copyright violation. My only concern is that the image might not actually be PD in the US - they're certainly PD in Papua New Guinea, but I don't think they were PD early enough for Template:PD-URAA to apply.

I've started a discussion on the copyright status of Somuk's artwork at Commons:Deletion requests/Artwork by Somuk (ITBF has been notified at Commons, but just in case @Generalissima: wants to participate). Concurring with Generalissima that this looks well-sourced, new enough, long enough, etc. and the QPQ is done. IMO the copyright worries are well-founded, but the hook can probably run without the image. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 17:12, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

@ITBF, Generalissima, and Tenpop421: As the nomination will time out next week and there doesn't seem to be any real issues, can this be given a tick so it can run, albeit without the image? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:18, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

but probably best not to promote before the deletion request is resolved. Tenpop421 (talk) 03:20, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
