- Comment:
Should the expansion be a problem: this version had 2136 prose characters; after my expansion, the article now has 10759 prose charactersNever mind this, the article was since promoted to GA status.

- I've just now realised that the picture is not in the article. I decided against using it so as not to give the misconduct allegations undue prominence. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:41, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

This article is a fivefold expansion and a newly promoted GA, and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:59, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
