General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough and well sourced. The hook is cited and interesting. qpq is done and there's no copyvio. I'm adding ALT1 which is a slight variation on ALT0 because the source and the article both say that Ozzie took his own blood pressure, which is even more interesting imo. Either way, this one's good to go! BuySomeApples (talk) 02:29, 27 January 2022 (UTC)


Promoting ALT1 to Prep 5. Usually, we'd have another reviewer to review BuySomeApples's hooks. However, in this case, ALT1 in a very similar version of the main hook, and I'm goon WP:IAR on that. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:32, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
