5x expanded by Aoidh (talk). Self-nominated at 16:19, 8 December 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Article is long enough - barely - and has been expanded 5x. ALT2 would be the most interesting hook in my opinion, but up to the promoter. QPQ done, referencing checks out, no copyvio, good to go. Juxlos (talk) 04:44, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
