• Article is new enough and long enough. Going to AGF with a number of sources. One paragraph in the description section is unsourced, and I would probably qualify the word "cult" a bit in the text. Of the few sources I have access to, most seem to support the content. The "drop a few random sentences into Google" technique uncovered no evidence of plagiarism or copyvio, neither the few sources I could access. No preference for either hook. No QPQ needed.

  • Hello Jo-Jo Emuerus, I wanted to let you know that I've addressed the two issues you mentioned. I've replaced the term 'cult' with more accessible explanations and removed sentences lacking sources. Additionally, I've expanded the content, so it might be a good idea to run again those tests you mentioned. Thanks for your help! Koroneiki (talk) 08:42, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
