  • General eligibility:
  • New enough: Yes
  • Long enough: Yes
  • Other problems: No - The article is tagged as having an active merger proposal. This will need to be resolved.
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Just the merger issue to take care of. I'd also propose that the hook ditch the date for a time-dependent phrase like "two months ago", though this would be dependent on when it gets accepted into the queue. SounderBruce 03:38, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

  • @SounderBruce: merge template has been dealt with. There was no info to really bring over; other details were outdated. Thanks for reviewing! ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 06:06, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
    • Good to go then. I'll leave it up to the promoter if they want to modify the hook when the time comes. SounderBruce 06:08, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
