General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
Other problems: - "never carrying more than 22" is included in the lead but should also be repeated in the body of the article with the source

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was moved to mainspace on 29 June and nominated the same day, it is also easily long enough. Earwig looks good, and the hook is interesting but part of it is not directly included in the body of the article with a source (see above). QPQ has been completed, so this will be good to go when the above minor issue is resolved. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:07, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
