Created by Philafrenzy (talk) and Whispyhistory (talk). Nominated by Philafrenzy (talk) at 11:50, 11 January 2020 (UTC).
Date and length fine. I'm AGF on the newspaper archive source as it's a little hard to read. My preference is for the "so Red" original (though maybe next time, might be an idea to nominate fewer hooks!). QPQ is done, no close paraphasing. Picture licence fine. Good to go.
