Article is new and long enough. QPQ has been completed. Article is well-written and adequately cited, with no copyvio or close paraphrasing. Hooks are clever, cited, and short enough for DYK. Morgan695 (talk) 19:50, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

I much prefer the original hook, with its amusing pun. The alt is rather crude and we get too many of this kind of hook at April Fools. Gatoclass (talk) 01:55, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
