5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 00:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC).
- Article is over 1500 words and meets expansion requirements. Body text is sourced aptly and the sources seem to be reliable. I will have to assume good faith on the ones where paid registration is required. I found no copyright violations and the writing is neutral. lullabying (talk) 00:46, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
