Comment: I removed the redirect and wrote the article. For ALT2 and ALT3 the source is an article in a database, so you may not be able to access it without a subscription.

Converted from a redirect by Cstickel(byu) (talk). Self-nominated at 19:21, 27 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT0 is hooky; hook ref verified and cited inline. Image is fair use. I have tagged the plot section, however, as being excessively long; it takes up more than half the article. Please shorten it and we can proceed. QPQ done (although not necessary for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits). Yoninah (talk) 15:45, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I condensed it into two paragraphs. Let me know if it still needs to be shorter. Thank you! Cstickel(byu) (talk) 19:53, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 11:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
