The article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, neutrally written with no significant copyvios. The hook is cited-inline in the article and is interesting. Only a QPQ is pending following which it should be good to go. Northamerica1000, please let me know once its complete. Ashley yoursmile! 11:59, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
