  • This article is new enough and long enough. Some of the original text was copied from Coronavirus_disease_2019#Transmission, and I am unsure what portion of that text remains in the present version of the article, and whether the article meets the 5x expansion for copied text rule. If the nomination infringes this rule, I propose to IAR, because it is a "good thing" for this article to appear on the main page. I have struck ALT1 because I doubt the public really distinguish between respiratory droplet transmission and airborne transmission and therefore it gives a false impression. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:46, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Nearly all of the text initially imported into the draft has been removed or rewritten in the course of writing the article. FWIW, the diff doesn't find any substantially similar paragraphs between the imported text and the current version. There might be a few scattered sentences that came through unchanged but I don't think it would amount to 20% of the article. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 21:47, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
That should be fine then. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:57, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
