If an existing/shared footprint exists, it is used
If a common footprint is used, verify fitment against the datasheet (basically confirm the package fits the footprint we have, rather than the datasheet footprint exactly matching our footprint)
Footprint matches datasheet
Verify pin mapping
Verify dimensions
Verify units
Verify hole size

Double check 3D models for alignment to pads and for dimensions against datasheet! |
Layers are setup correctly: https://nerdocs.atlassian.net/l/cp/khnHr5Zw
Confirm footprint name makes sense and is stored in the right folder (no randomly generated names!)

Rotated/flipped MOSFETs and diodes
Footprint in datasheet is looking from the bottom and we enter it as looking from the top (causing flipped footprint)
Traced 3D model without checking if it aligns correctly
