A version of the Man in Business Suit Levitating emoji

... that Man in Business Suit Levitating (pictured) was based on the logo of a record label, which was in turn based on a 1964 photo of reggae musician Peter Tosh?
- ALT1: ... that the designer of Man in Business Suit Levitating (pictured) also created Trebuchet MS and Comic Sans?
- ALT2: ... that the creator of Comic Sans also designed a levitating man in a business suit?

Article is new enough and long enough. It has sufficient citations, and the only hit on an Earwig check is a direct quote which is properly attributed. QPQ is done. The hooks are interesting, but unfortunately I cannot approve them because they all rely at least in part on Newsweek as a source, but post-2013 Newsweek is not considered a reliable source (see WP:NEWSWEEK).

Thanks for the review, Trainsandotherthings! I do notice that the RSP entry says there are exceptions to this standard, so consensus is to evaluate Newsweek content on a case-by-case basis. I wouldn’t touch most post-2013 Newsweek content with a ten-foot pole but I felt the use of this article was appropriate and if you agree that seems to be a decision we’re allowed to make. Otherwise, though, ALT0 seems to be fully supported by the BBC source, and ALT1 and ALT2 by Olhar unless we think it’s derivative of Newsweek and therefore unreliable? ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:37, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I checked again and you are correct that ALT0 is supported by the BBC source, so I will approve that hook. I've verified the basic facts of ALT1 and ALT2 are also correct, so I've decided to provisionally approve them, but I will let the promoter have the final say on their use.
