The article is long enough and new enough with no copyright violations. ALT0 is fine and directly cited, but ALT1 isn't actually in the article. A QPQ is not needed yet. The sentence that starts with "In 2018, she produced a video" needs to be referenced. The quote needs to be referenced. SL93 (talk) 00:50, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
