QPQ: Done.

Overall:

A recently expanded article that is long enough. Most of the sources are hosted by a third party, so I cannot review them and I'll assume good faith. No copyvio issues with the available text. The hook is interesting and it was not present before the expansion. QPQ is not required. According to the tool, this is the fourth nomination. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 01:54, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
