QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria on newness and length. Well sourced. Will AGF on the offline sources. Tone is neutral. Earwig's copyvio does not show any concerns. AGF on references from offline sources. Hook is interesting. QPQ done. Minor point - I have seen some reviewers emphasize the need for the hook to be used as closely as possible in the article. This article has the hook's contents in the biography and is sufficient to meet the need. I see no concerns. Marking this one as approved. Good to go. Ktin (talk) 15:41, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
