5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 02:02, 27 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Approve Hook and Image The article was 5x expanded on the 26th, so is new enough. It went from about 930 characters to around 5200, so is long enough for both requirements. The article reads neutrally, has in-line citations, and I will AGF on the references used through Newspapers.com. The hook is short enough and interesting. The QPQ has been done and the image presented above is in the public domain, is used in the article, and looks fine at the required size. Looks good to go.
