New article is 6,019 characters long and nominated 1 day after first expansion. No copyvios detected and detector check of the 4 hook sources [1][2][3][4] reveal no close paraphrasing issues. Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 151 characters long (ALT1 is 107; ALT2 is 85); all three are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Refs 3, 5, 20, and 22 (verifying all three hooks) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 11:32, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
