New article is 4,298 characters long and nominated two days after first expansion. No copyvios detected and duplication detector [1][2] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF books and article scans which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 148 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Refs 7 and 20 (verifying the hook) are reliable sources (AGF latter as it's offline). QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:54, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
