Article is New Enough - nominated six days after creation. Long enough, prose size of 1.56k exceeds (barely) 1.5k requirement. Article written in neutral manner. Uses inline citations. I do not read Japanese but what I was able to translate indicates that outline and prose are original/contain no close paraphrasing, so AGF on copyright issues. Hook format is good. Hook is interesting to broad audience, I believe ALT0 to be the more compelling of the two presented. Hook is accurate: confirmed to inline-cited source. Hook is neutrally written. QPQ requirement waived, as editor has three credits as of now. Image confirmed as free, it is used in article, and it displays very well at small size. This article is deserving of mainspace exposure per DYK rules. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 17:07, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
