• Article creation date versus filing day okay. Article length just past the line at 1532 B (274 words) readable prose size. Article neutrality good, article is thoroughly footnoted (albeit a lot of the sources seem to be rehashes of the same basic points), no evident signs of copyvio. Image license seems okay. Hook length and neutrality and sourcing okay (most of the sources in the article attest to the legend). But hook interest is on the weak side. Why not come up with an alternate hook that describes the supposed fate of humans or animals that attempt to go from one or the other? Wasted Time R (talk) 23:34, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the feedback, I'll draft up a alt hook. Enjoy your day! HenryTemplo (talk) 05:25, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Okay, ALT1 captures more interest, is longer but well within bounds at 159 B, nomination is good to go. (I added the pictured into it, like ALT0 had.) Wasted Time R (talk) 21:36, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
