Article was newly created in draft space and moved to main space within the timeframe required. It's very long and has citations throughout. Nothing appears non-neutral to me. The hook fact is interesting enough. No close paraphrasing concerns are identified by the tool, although it's only letting me check the links on the page as we've used Google search too many times today? QPQ is provided. I think the image can be added as it's old enough that it's public domain. I'd add an infobox to the article, but that's not necessary. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
