Size (just!) and date check out OK. References are suitable and relable. AfD closed keep, no notability concerns. QPQ done. Earwig's tool indicates no copyplag concerns. Note: added

Hi, I came by to promote this, but find ALT1 too promotional. What do you think about:
ALT2a: ... that Canadian fashion brand Line the Label renamed its white jacket "The Meghan" after
