Overall: @Cbl62 Good article. The hook is interesting. The problem for me is that there is the first paragraph of DeLisle's "confession" is uncited. There's also no QPQ done yet. Once these issues are fixed I can approve the nomination Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:47, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Onegreatjoke: Thank you for the review and kind words. I remedied the citation issue and added a QPQ. Cbl62 (talk) 20:29, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I think i can approve this article now. I do wish there were more sources for DeLisle's "confession" ruled inadmissible but I think it's fine. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:24, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, again, and I did add additional sources to that section. The one source that gets cited repeatedly contains an actual transcript of the interrogation and is thus a particularly solid source. Cbl62 (talk) 23:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think it doesn't? Covered in every major news outlet in the USA and selected by the AP as one of the top 10 news stories in State of Michigan two years in a row (No. 7 in 1989 and No. 6 in 1990). Cbl62 (talk) 18:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Cbl62: huh, interesting. All the papers cited here are local, so I guess that threw me off... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 19:06, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
