The article is new enough and long enough. It was probably already neutral, but I just made a few edits that make it look more neutral to me. It has sufficient inline citations. All four versions of the hook are short enough and accurate to cited material in the article. I'd say ALT2 good be rewritten to sound more neutral, but the others already sound neutral. I'd also say about ALT2 that it is the least interesting to a broad audience. I'd say ALT3 is the most interesting to a broad audience. The nominator did the QPQ. There's no image. This nomination looks good to me. I recommend using the ALT3 hook. Dugan Murphy (talk) 20:25, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
