Article is netural, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. Moved to mainspace on 21 July, the same day as this nomination. Hooks are interesting, succinct, and reliably sourced (AGF on offline sources)—per the nomination, I agree that ALT0 and ALT2 are the best, but if the promoter wants something a little less explicit on the front page, then I'd recommend ALT1 (then ALT5). QPQ is done. Nothing else needed—this is good to go. A horrific story; thank you for taking the time to make sure it is remembered. – Rhain ☔ 11:31, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
