- Comment: 1) The specific QPQ is from the mutli-article nomination and is or Cóic Conara Fugill

2) I'm not sure whether naming the critic in the hook is OK as I think they are still alive (thinking of BLP guidelines)

Converted from a redirect by Lajmmoore (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 133 past nominations.

I'll review this either today or tomorrow. On the name of the critic, it's fine to include in the article but I'd go for the first hook to avoid turning the spotlight on someone who may not satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria (I haven't checked, but seems like a good principle to me).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: All checks out. No issues with verifiability or copyright from the spot checks. I have a couple of small comments that don't need to be resolved but might enhance the article:

As it is the ninth book in the series, are there any recurring characters? Rupert Campbell-Black for instance.
Is the Laing review for the Guardian the same Guardian (Observer) review that is mentioned indirectly via Jarvis?
Purely a matter of preference for different styles, but instead of "Cooper spoke out about the difficulty she had in writing [some of the sex scenes]" could "Cooper later reflected on the difficulty..." be a suitable alternative? Richard Nevell (talk) 22:45, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
