Overall: 
A new article that is long enough. It is neutral, no copyvios per se, and the QPQ is done. The hook is interesting and sourced. The issue I find, however is that 1. {{no plot}}. The template is not physically there, but there is no plot. 2. The critical reception section is mostly composed of copyrighted quotations--more than the non-quoted text. This has to be reduced significatively. Tbhotch™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 04:17, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Tbhotch:, thanks for your review. I'll have a look at it, and the article, over the next few days. TarnishedPathtalk 10:35, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Tbhotch:, I've added a synopsis section and summarised the longest quote. Please have a look. TarnishedPathtalk 09:35, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
The article was expanded. The article now has a summary, and the critical reception is no longer based on quotes. The additions are mentioned in the sources. GTG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tbhotch (talk • contribs) 06:19, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- Adding a procedural tick to ensure Tbhotch's approval moves this nom to the approved list. (Tbh, please be sure to sign your comments; an approval tick does not actually approve the hook unless the comment is signed, thanks!) Dclemens1971 (talk) 06:25, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
