New article that was moved to mainspace on 3 February 2021 is 9,794 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected and duplication detector[1][2] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF books and foreign language refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 155 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 7 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
