Created by RunningTiger123 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:20, 19 March 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has less than 5 past nominations.

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Article just long enough and created sufficiently recently (i.e. today). Hook interesting enough and confirmed by the relevant source(s). QPQ done, Earwig only marks titles (like "vice president vice president of the National Educational Association and vice president of the National Association of State Universities") so no copyvio. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 16:41, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
