Improved to Good Article status by Sdkb (talk). Self-nominated at 07:14, 13 July 2021 (UTC).
Article meets DYK requirements as a newly-promoted GA and no close paraphrasing was found. Among the hooks, ALT0 and ALT2 are probably the best options; ALT2 is verified in the source; ALT0 meets requirements but the reference has to be duplicated after the exact sentence for DYK purposes. QPQ has been done. This is actually good to go, just waiting for ALT0's referencing to be fixed before final approval is given. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:20, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, this is now good to go. Thinking about it, ALT2 is probably the quirkiest option here so I'm suggesting that it's the one that's promoted. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:42, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
