Article is long enough and new enough with in-line citation; no sourcing, copyright, or content issues were found. Hook has good source and meets length and format criterion. QPQ was done. Image is CC BY-SA 2.0 with required attribution included so image is appropriate for Wikipedia; rollover tag is also good.--Orygun (talk) 03:16, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
