Improved to Good Article status by DarkGlow (talk). Self-nominated at 16:46, 5 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Article was recently promoted to GA status and has no copyvio concers. The hooks are interesting and sourced to reliable sources. I'm not seeing the second hook in the ref provided but it is in a ref included in the article. User does not require a QPQ as this is their first nom. Good to go.
