Fascinating article. Long enough, well-written and recent enough. Hook is very nice and properly supported by an inline citation to a reliable source. QPQ is done and the image has the correct license tag. Should be good to go. Yakikaki (talk) 20:25, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coincidentally, I realised I just did a QPQ by reviewing an article about a Smith so I can do my own nomination of an article about a Smith. Yakikaki (talk) 20:35, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
