• New enough, long enough and within policy. Both hooks supported by inline citations. QPQ done, no image. It could be interesting with a bit more elaboration on as to why the newspaper adopted the slogan, but strictly speaking that is outside the remit of a DYK review; the article is good to go .Yakikaki (talk) 12:08, 29 February 2020
