Article is new enough, long enough, is supported by eminently reliable academic sources, well-written, and free of any copyvio I can detect. The hook is interesting, and I am happy to AGF on the offline source. QPQ has been done. As such, I think this is good to go. Girth Summit (blether) 11:07, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
