Article satisfies the length and recency requirements with a 5x-plus expansion on March 8. Earwig check does not disclose any problems with copyright violation or unduly close paraphrasing. Article is reasonably well-written, cited, and neutral. The hook is short enough and supported by in-line citations. The hook is a little on the "meh" side with respect to eligibility criteria 3 ("interesting to a broad audience"), but about on par with the average DYK. QPQ needs to be completed before this can be green-ticked. Cbl62 (talk) 20:54, 8 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
