Overall: Article meets eligibility requirements - newness and length. No issues with sourcing and is neutral in tone. No copyvio issues found with Earwig. Assuming
WP:AGF on some of the offline sources. Hook is sourced to a Chicago Tribune article accessible via a newspapers.com snippet. QPQ done. I have a question for the nominator -- does it appear that the incident seems to have undue weightage in the article? Will go by the nominator's read. Irrespective, I am marking nomination as approved.

It might be
UNDUE in the current article, but I think it would be fine in a hypothetical "expanded to FA/GA status" article. In any event, I think it's fine. –

Adding another symbol since it seems to be broken.

SL93: For future reference, do all proposed hooks of a QPQ have to be reviewed even if some are rejected prior to checking, for e.g. not being hooky enough, or if only one hook is seriously considered for promotion? (In any event, I have proceeded my QPQ along.) –

John M Wolfson Any hooks that are a possibility in a reviewer's eyes need to be reviewed. Thanks for coming back to the nomination.

Alright, I'll be sure to be more explicit in what hooks I consider in the future. –
