5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:59, 23 August 2021 (UTC).
The article was recently expanded within the amounts needed for DYK and is within policy. All of the hooks are formatted well, are accurate, and likely to be interesting to a broad audience. I can't see the 1988 NYT reference due to a paywall, so I'll AGF. QPQ is done. No image has been provided as of yet. This should be good to go. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 15:11, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
