New article is 5,870 characters long and nominated one day later. No copyvios detected and duplication detector[1] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF books and offline refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 189 characters long (ALT1 is 103); both are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Refs 1 (verifying the hook) and 5 (verifying ALT1) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Image is free and in the public domain. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:42, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
