QPQ: Done.

Overall: QPQ done. Passed GAN two days prior to nomination. Detailed and sufficiently sourced article, and it, from a quick sweep, seems to broadly cover the necessary aspects for the purposes of a GA, aided by the comments in the GAN. No online copyvio and will AGF about offline sources. All hooks provided are in the article; obvious preference for ALT0. ‍  Elias 🪐  (dreaming of Saturn; talk here) 12:00, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
