• Article is long enough, new, the hook is interesting and all the images in it are free of any copyright problems. I would suggest however putting in a reference for Mikhail Lomonosov's quote for the "gates of my own erudition" quote, and properly formatting the references in the article before promotion however.

  • This is the Lomonosov reference. Also, I have formatted the article refs.QatarStarsLeague (talk) 03:24, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
