• What a fun read! The article was nominated one day after the GA. Article is long enough. As evident by the GA status, the article is well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free. Source checks out and quid pro quo is done. I like the 80% statistic but I love the absurdity of the National Film Registry, especially how the details are organized in Alt2 ("a one-minute ad?"), so I suggest that one.
