1993 Finchley Road bombings

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- WP:DAILYMIRROR, the source for the fact in the article, is yellow-lit. For a major event like this, surely a higher-quality source is available? - Interesting:
| QPQ: None required. |
Overall: 
Although the specific six-months fact isn't something that pulls me in, the page topic (a bombing) has enough intrinsic interest that I think it'll get a decent number of views, and quickly reading over the page, I don't see anything better. No QPQ needed, and copyvio/sourcing/etc. assumed to have been covered during the GAN. Let me know once you've improved the source and if you have any other ideas about a hook, and then this will be good to go. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} talk 18:55, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
- Sdkb Is basic maths okay? This Times piece states the last attack was the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing ("Natwest Tower"), which was in April 1993. Otherwise I can change the hook to something else. — Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 19:38, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
