Article is new enough, long enough, well-written and follows policy. Citations are good and from RS sources. QPQ done. For the DYK, the hook is rather interesting and supported by inline citation. Overall, it looks good! I have a slight preference for ALT1, but I will let the closer decide. Great article! LunaEatsTuna (talk) 01:13, 7 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
