Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. No copyright violation detected. Hook fact is verified to the cited reference, and is suitably interesting. This article can be promoted once the QPQ has been done.4meter4 (talk) 19:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: As this is supposed to go in the next prep but one to be queued, I suggest stepping on the QPQ.--Laun chba ller 07:43, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4 and Launchballer: QPQ done. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:52, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll promote this as soon as it is approved and have left a hole in prep ready. Ping me when this is approved.--Laun chba ller 07:19, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66: If you're awake, could you approve this?--Laun chba ller 07:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Once approved, please place this nomination in the Olympics: Special occasion holding area
