Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 13:00, 11 June 2021 (UTC).
New article that was moved to mainspace on 9 June is 2,356 characters and nominated two days later. No copyvios detected and duplication detector check of online sources[1][2][3][4] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF books which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 160 characters long (ALT1 is 89); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Refs 1 and 2 (verifying the main hook) and ref 9 (verifying ALT1) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:47, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
