New article that was moved to mainspace on 27 October 2021‎‎‎ is 4,670 characters and nominated one day later. No copyvios detected (AGF books and journals which can't go through Dup detector; high confidence of violation due to chapter names). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 149 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Refs 21 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from JSTOR (AGF as there is no preview available). QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:54, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
