Hi Gog the Mild, review follows; article created 25 July; exceeds minimum length and is well written; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; sourcing is almost netirely offline but more than happy to to AGF that there is no overclose paraphrasing of them; hook fact is more than interesting enough, mentioned in the article and cited inline; a QPQ has been carried out; no problems here - Dumelow (talk) 17:45, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
