Overall: Article was created on the day of the nomination and has c. 3,000 prose characters. It's written neutrally; it cites sources with inline references (though they could be used more frequently) and no copyvio issues have been detected. The hook was slightly too long but it's backed up by a source in the article and I find it quite interesting. I've now trimmed the hook a bit and it now fits the pithiness requirement. QPQ is confirmed. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:40, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
