Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 07:02, 31 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

  • New article that was moved to mainspace on 30 March is 7,678 characters and nominated one day later. No copyvios detected and duplication detector [1] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF scanned refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article are well-sourced. Main hook is 121 characters long (ALT1 is 148); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Refs 5 and 13 (verifying the hook and ALT1, respectively) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 14:41, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
