- Just realised we could have this on the mainpage on its anniversary on 1 March, so would request a special occasion slot, hook could be modified to indicate the significance of the date - Dumelow (talk) 12:57, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
New article that was moved to mainspace on 7 February 2022 is 8,474 characters long and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected (AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 123 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 18 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source. QPQ done. Image is free and in the public domain. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 04:45, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
