Y Article is long enough (3693 characters), new enough (moved to mainspace on 11 June, nominated on the same day), and article is within policy
Y Of the hooks, I find ALT1 a lot more interesting, as it's unusual. But both hooks are short enough, in the article, well cited and interesting enough. Up to promoter which one to use
Y Image is freely licenced (PD), in the article, and will look okay at low resolution
Y QPQ done
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:27, 3 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
