Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. No copyright violations detected and inline citations to reliable sources throughout. The hook facts are all verified to the cited materials. No issues with any of the hooks, which are all reasonably interesting. I will leave it to the promoter to select which of the three hooks they prefer as they are all usable. All we need is the QPQ and this can be promoted. Good work Beanie.4meter4 (talk) 14:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
