Improved to Good Article status by Sohom Datta (talk). Self-nominated at 18:37, 17 March 2024 (UTC).

Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 6 past nominations.

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.

New GA, well cited (AGF some paywalled) and written, no copyvio apparent. @Sohom Datta: Consider not naming the account manager per WP:LPNAME. QPQ present, all hooks work except ALT1 (not sure what "sweet" or "treat" refers to...). Hameltion (talk | contribs) 01:58, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Removed. "Sweet treats" was refering to the more traditional cookie stuffing (like oreo etc) :) Sohom (talk) 02:07, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
