Hawkeye7, I've completed a review of this nomination and I assess that it meets or exceeds all DYK criteria. The article's size is appropriate at 6616 characters (1187 words) "readable prose size" and it is new enough as it was moved to the Wikipedia main space on July 22, 2020. Including spaces, the hook is 135 characters. I confirm the hook's content and the completion of a QPQ. -- West Virginian (talk) 15:06, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
