    Pass/Fail:  
    Overall the article is looking really good. There was some minor lang issues that I have fixed. However I ran the article through Earwig's Copyvio Detector and it has a 85.5% similarity with this blog wiki. Upon first glance, this is a blog wiki so I could just ignore (right?) but I'll take more time to look into it. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 04:42, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
    It appears to be a fan website..a blog but not much information about it. One stark difference is that the blog does not cite any sources and it definitely isn't a secondary source. Nothing is verifiable in that blog whereas the article I'm reviewing is well cited and verifiable. There are no other similarities beside that blog and I assume good faith that contributors to the article wrote in their own words (and that blog took a large part of the Wikipedia article) so I am going to pass the nomination.

    Yes, that blogs copies prose from Wikipedia for all of their articles. ℛonherry 05:59, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
