Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 17:22, 28 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

New article that was moved to mainspace on 28 January 2021 is 6,190 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected [1] and duplication detector [2][3] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF scanned refs and foreign language sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article are well-sourced. Hook is 117 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 8 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 19:41, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
