• This timely article appears to be sourced and neutral, and to meet DYK-relevant policies including avoidance of plagiarism. It's new enough and long enough, and the hooks are all sourced and of appropriate length. All are interesting, ALT1 most of all. I was wary of approving it because the cited source is weak – attributing it as one person's opinion – but I found a better source. All approved, I prefer ALT1 and I'll add a citation to the stronger source in the article. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 18:35, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
  • @Ezlev:, thanks for the review! Regarding your concern about ALT1 being cited to one person, I don't believe the ABA Journal source you added makes much of a difference in this matter, given that too is cited back to Jonathan Peters. I don't know if that makes a significant difference for you, I think based on the number of media outlets quoting Peters, it's clear he's an expert in this field and there are no real BLP concerns here given that McLean has been dead for 100+ years.
