  • Article length is fine and has been expanded 5x within seven days before nomination here. No copyvio or plagiarism concerns, QPQ is good, reliable sources are used properly throughout the article and the hook is cited, verified, short enough, neutral, and interesting. Great job expanding the article! - Aoidh (talk) 02:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
