... that Madeleine Swann's name is a tribute to Marcel Proust? Source: "Her character is – unless I have been reading things wrongly for the last six years – named in tribute to Marcel Proust’s À la Recherche du Temps Perdu. Swann’s Way, the first volume, begins with the narrator enjoying a madeleine." https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/lea-seydoux-i-am-very-shy-but-shy-people-can-be-very-daring-1.4697340 "Her character is called Madeleine Swann – which sounds like an in-joke for lovers of Proust." https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/oct/11/lea-seydoux-interview-james-bond-spectre-blue-is-the-warmest-colour

New article is 2,379 characters long and nominated one day later. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to block quotation that is sourced). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 58 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Refs 3 and 5 (verifying the hook) are reliable sources from The Irish Times and The Guardian, respectively. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 06:27, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
