Hi Cwmhiraeth, I don't have any issue with this being a day late. Review follows: article created 26 November and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I found no issues with overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook is interesting to me, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 11:37, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dumelow: Thank you for the review. You will need to give the nomination a tick for it to move forwards. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:58, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
