• Article has appeared on "In The News" before. Sorry. CeeGee 06:47, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

• @CeeGee: This article is eligible per Rule 1e, because it only appeared in the "Recent Deaths" section of ITN and not as a bold link. —Bloom6132 (talk) 06:55, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
• Full review needed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:30, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

• @Bloom6132: "DYK check" link reported that "it was not eligible". Thank you for your reply and hint. Maybe, the "DYK check" needs to be improved for that case. CeeGee 11:50, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

• Article is new, neutral and long enough. It cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" claims text similarity only for the first part of the lede. The hook, I prefer ALT1, is well-formatted and interesting. Its length is within limit, and its fact is cited inline. QPQ was done. Good to go. CeeGee 11:50, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
