Created by Moonraker (talk). Self-nominated at 09:23, 7 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

New article is 2,008 characters long and nominated two days after its creation. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to direct quotes that have all been cited) and duplication detector check of online sources[1][2][3] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF book scans and offline sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 156 characters long (ALT1 is 161); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Refs 6 and 4 (verifying the main hook and ALT1, respectively) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:23, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
