Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 09:52, 21 March 2021 (UTC).
New article that was moved to mainspace on 21 March 2021 is 2,622 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected and duplication detector [1][2][3][4] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF scanned refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article are well-sourced. Main hook is 109 characters long (ALT1 is 112; ALT2 is 98); all three are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Refs 2 and 4 (verifying the hook, ALT1, and ALT2) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:29, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
