New article that was moved to mainspace on 27 October 2021 is 4,670 characters and nominated one day later. No copyvios detected (AGF books and journals which can't go through Dup detector; high confidence of violation due to chapter names). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 149 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Refs 21 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from JSTOR (AGF as there is no preview available). QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:54, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
