A qpq has been done, it long/new enough. Earwig doesn’t flag any problems, I do worry the hook does require you to know who Clyde Bakahel is, also a bit of bureaucracy is I belive the AFD will close keep but I would rather wait until then to approve it Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 01:49, 19 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
Ready for a new review as the AFD was closed as keep. I have to agree though that the hook is uninteresting as currently written. Do you have any other angles? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:15, 27 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
