General eligibility:

  • New enough: No - No, the article has not been recently created, expanded, or improved to Good Article status.
  • Long enough: Yes

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - See above
  • Interesting: No - See above

QPQ: No - See above

Overall: Unfortunately, I will have to fail this nomination per WP:DYKRULES. This page has not been created, expanded fivefold, or improved to Good Article status within a week of the nomination. These two edits are the only edits I see in the week prior to the date of this nomination. The hook is certainly interesting, but this represents an expansion from 4,385 to 4,479 bytes of prose (around 21,900 bytes of prose would be needed for the nomination to be eligible). If you do expand the page fivefold or improve the article to Good Article status, though, then this can be renominated. Epicgenius (talk) 14:18, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
