Overall: A neat little article, but unfortunately not quite long enough yet. My character count comes to 1430 (excluding infobox, references, etc., as required). If it can be expanded slightly, I'll take another look at it. As far as the other criteria go, the style is fine, the image appears copyright-free, the article is well sourced and I'm happy to take the hook and text citations in good faith.

Hi, I came by to promote this, but notice that none of the refs have online links, and some book refs lack page numbers. I formatted the source that verifies the hook. Could you add links and page numbers to the others please? Yoninah (talk) 15:00, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ryan shell: thank you. But I wasn't referring to the number of pages in the pamphlets, but to the page number on which you found the information. The Romero source is not formatted properly. Go to Google Books and look up each book there please. Yoninah (talk) 16:38, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Added several page numbers, where findable on Google Books, to the ref list. Is this level of detail causing this already-approved nomination to be held up?Ryan shell (talk) 23:00, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Since you are a new nominator, I will IAR and promote this, but please provide a page number for each fact you reference in your future articles. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 16:51, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
