Reliable sources are used, age is fine, copyvio didn't detect anything, QPQ isn't needed, and hooks are good (I prefer ALT1)... but the article is much too short for DYK rn. Lettler^{hello • contribs} 01:22, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lettler, thanks for the feedback! I've expanded the article by around 1000 characters of readable prose, if you want to take another look? ezlev^tlk
