Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 23:01, 14 January 2020 (UTC).
Article is long enough, adequately sourced, and was nominated on the day it was moved to mainspace. A QPQ has been done. ALT1/ALT2 and ALT3 are the best hook choices; I am assuming good faith for ALT3's offline source. ALT1/ALT2 need a proper inline citation as the footnote for the Zulu quote comes not at the sentence mentioning it but the one after. Earwigs is currently down so I am unable to check for close paraphrasing. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:45, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
