Approving all hooks on good faith. Article is long enough and was created same day as DYK nom. Article is presentable, well-sourced, and free from copyvio. Hooks are interesting and sourced; the exact pages are unavailable online. QPQ done. Thank you for your nomination Dumelow! Kimikel (talk) 22:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
