General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: The article was recently expanded 5x and is well sourced, but it has a copyediting tag. Looking at the page it needs a little editing for grammar and English. There's a little close paraphrasing in the introduction but that's an easy fix. qpq isn't needed for a first time nom. The hook was a bit clunky, so I made it more concise. The main thing is getting this page cleaned up, once that's done I'll approve this. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:45, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

BuySomeApples I have worked on the issues.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratnahastin (talk • contribs)

@Ratnahastin: thank you for working on those! I've also done a little copyediting to clean up punctuation and split run-on sentences into smaller ones. I think it's up to spec now so I'm giving this nom a checkmark. BuySomeApples (talk) 18:42, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
