The article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. Article was created/redirected on the same day as this nomination. QPQ looks good. Hooks are all interesting and sourced (AGF on offline sources); I think the main hook is the most interesting, but any would work fine. Good to go! – Rhain ☔ 08:55, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
