General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

Fine on creation - nomination time, and on length, sourcing OK (was potentially impacted by a one-line "paragraph" but that should have been within the preceding paragraph anyway), no cross-article copying found, Earwig found 0% except one catch-phrase, which is valid. Hook is certainly catchy, and its one core fact is cited adequately for its type. Pictures in article are OK, not used in nomination anyway. QPQ fine, technical issue noted and resolved.
