New article is 4,536 characters long and nominated on the same day as its creation. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to direct quote that has been cited) and duplication detector check of online sources[2][3][4][5] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF journal article and newspaper scan which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 155 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 1 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from CBC Sports. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:56, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
