I wasn't at first sure if this is notable, but I guess it is - I've added some sources. Date, size, copyvio spotcheck, etc. all GTG. QPQ not done but does not seem required as is the nom's first submission. It wouldn't go amiss, however, if you'd do one to help with the backlog, User:Anonymous 7481. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:47, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
