Interesting article. It is new enough, long enough, well written, and makes proper use of citations. The hooks are interesting and short enough. Hook alt 1 is accurate, supported by in-line citation, and good to go. Hook alt 0, however, is being stricken because (a) the first source doesn't say he "created" the slogan, and (b) "Fab 4 Collectibles" (an individual in NYC who sells memorabilia here) is questionable as a reliable encyclopedic source. QPQ is complete. Cbl62 (talk) 14:02, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I was reviewing this but apparently I forgot to sign it, so when I pressed publish changes apparently I was beat to it, so I’ll just say I fixed reference 42. Trillfendi (talk) 14:06, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
