- Comment: Is there some sort of award I can receive for laziness? I expanded the article from my own unreferenced 14 year old stub!
5x expanded by No Swan So Fine (talk). Self-nominated at 16:01, 3 November 2021 (UTC).
The article is new enough, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. Offline sources are accepted AGF. The hooks are interesting and sourced. QPQ done. Not sure is there an award for expanding your own 14 year old stub but congratulations (laugh cry emoji). Corachow (talk) 11:40, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
