QPQ: Done.

Overall: A recently 5x expanded article. The article relies on foreign offline sources, so I have to AGF on the nominator; I didn't read neutrality issues. The picture is naturally free and appropriate, but it depends on the prep area. All three hooks are interesting for DYK. I have no particular favorite, but I'd order them 0, 2, 1, once again I let the preps choose the most appropriate. QPQ done. GTG. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 21:25, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Promoting the main hook (ALT0) to Prep 7, without the image. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 19:54, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
