Created by Giants2008 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:42, 29 September 2021 (UTC).
New article is 8,947 characters long and nominated one day after creation. No copyvios detected and duplication detector of main sources[3][4][5][6] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF books and article scans which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 130 characters long (ALT1 is 181); both are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Refs 6 (verifying the hook) and 13 (verifying ALT1) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:57, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
