5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 16:33, 13 March 2022 (UTC).
The article was expanded fivefolds recently, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. Some sources are behind paywall or offline, and are accepted AGF. The hooks are interesting and referenced. The image here is free and clear, and the other images in the articles are also free. Just waiting for QPQ and any other hooks that may come. Nice work!

- @Corachow: Thanks for the review. I have done a QPQ and added another hook (I thought there were more hooks available, but I can't think of any more at the moment). Epicgenius (talk) 13:23, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
