- – The article is new enough (created on August 14, 2021) and long enough (24,622 characters), cites various sources, and is free of plagiarism (Earwig's copyvio detector detects at-most 16.7% similarity – violation unlikely). The hooks are less than 200 characters, formatted properly, and are definitely interesting. The image is licenced properly, used in the article and looks fine in 100px. Just waiting for a QPQ to proceed. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 11:07, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Kavyansh.Singh: Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it. I've done a QPQ now. Epicgenius (talk) 16:07, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- – QPQ provided. I couldn't access the sources, but assuming good faith, the nomination is approved. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:37, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
