Created by Yoninah (talk). Self-nominated at 09:41, 14 July 2020 (UTC).[reply]

New article is 4,752 characters long and nominated one day after first expansion. No copyvios detected and duplication detector [1] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF books and article scans which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 184 characters long (ALT1 is 185); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Refs 1 and 5 (verifying the hook) and ref 7 (verifying ALT1) are all reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:10, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I tweaked ALT1 because it didn't make good sense. Yoninah (talk) 17:43, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
