Moved to mainspace on 12 May. The article is long enough at 6906 characters of readable prose. It is neutral, uses reliable sources and has inline citations throughout. Both hooks are correctly formatted; I prefer Alt1 but either is fine. The citations are offline so will AGF accuracy and copyvio issues. QPQ done. -Ykraps (talk) 07:42, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
