This impressive article is new enough and long enough. It is a very substantial article and an edit summary indicates that certain passages are copied from other articles. There is a DYK rule that requires text copied from other articles to be expanded five-fold, but as I don't know how much text was copied, I am going to IAR this rule. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done.

- @Cwmhiraeth: Thanks for the review. In terms of how much initially came from other articles, from my early off-line drafts I would estimate it at around 600–900 words, but a good deal of that I ended up rephrasing/reshaping anyway rather than straight copying. Since the current article is 5446 words, I think the five-fold expansion is definitely met. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:05, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
