General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: - The article doesn't include the superlative that it's one of the largest attacks, it should do so
• Interesting:
• Other problems: - ALT0 seems to imply that the militia primarily markets itself through telegram, which doesn't seem to be the case.

QPQ: None required.

Overall: @Dunutubble: The article seems fine—the hooks need a bit of work, but we're almost there! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 01:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

The nominator hasn't responded despite pings and a talk page message. I'd recommend marking the nomination for closure if they don't respond soon. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:52, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

yeah, that's unfortunate. If anyone wants to adopt the nom, we can keep working, but Dunutubble, it's been a bit of time. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:14, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

It seems like a shame to let this nomination die. Theleekycauldron, please give me a bit of time. Sdrqaz (talk) 16:01, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

@Sdrqaz: time you may have. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 16:08, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Theleekycauldron, I've added a citation to the claim that the attack was the largest since the Biden administration began and have proposed ALT0a and ALT1a, which should be "cleaner" versions. Thank you, Sdrqaz (talk) 16:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

@Sdrqaz: Problems addressed and nomination approved—nice rescue! I changed ALT1a a little bit, but both ALT1a and ALT0a are approved. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 16:29, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Great! ALT1a is a little long – would it be possible to remove Biden's first name? Sdrqaz (talk) 16:30, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

works for me! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 16:32, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
