Article is new enough and long enough. Article uses inline citations, Earwig shows no copyvio issues, and I'm satisfied that article content is neutral. Original hook is neutral, accurate, correctly-formatted, reasonably interesting, and under 200 characters. QPQ is complete. Good to go! Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:26, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
