... that in Appalachian folklore, some deer are not deer?

Reviewed: Not needed as I have less than 5 prior nominations
Comment: I'm open to other hooks if any better ones can be thought of!

~~Maybe~~. Sorry I couldn't catch this before the nomination went up! Multiple sources in the article appear to be unreliable, including Ground Zero Radio, Journal News, and Paranormal Catalog; I've tagged the article accordingly. Could you replace these sources or explain why these are usable in this context? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:38, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@TechnoSquirrel69: Hi, I've removed the unreliable sources. ArtemisiaGentileschiFan (talk) 16:54, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for doing that! I haven't conducted a full review, so second opinion needed. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:03, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, linking Appalachian folklore, bypassing the redirect. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:05, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article is new enough (created on 14 February) and long enough (4405 characters). It has 4 sources, and all the sources discuss the subject in detail. Every paragraph has a citation at the end, and from what I saw, every claim is sourced. The article is free of plagiarism and copyright violation concerns. It is neutral and encyclopedic in tone. The hook is cited and interesting. QPQ not required. -AmateurHi$torian (talk) 14:35, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
