New article is 3,562 characters long and nominated six days later. No copyvios detected (AGF all refs re. any close paraphrasing issues, since none can go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 156 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Refs 1 and 8 (verifying the hook) are reliable sources. Only QPQ needs to be completed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:32, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
