Comment: Second (and last) QPQ from the above.

5x expanded by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 11:47, 1 December 2021 (UTC).[reply]

5× expansion of 16 September 2018‎ version completed from 191 characters to 7,324 and nominated two days later. No copyvios detected and duplication detector of online sources[1][2] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (allowing for WP:LIMITED; AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 88 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 1 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:28, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
