I'll review this. JTtheOG (talk) 19:55, 21 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
The article has been expanded sixfold in the past week. It is well-written and fully sourced. The hook fact checks out and appears in the article, as well as being sufficiently interesting. There is no identifiable copyvio issues. Lastly, QPQ is done. This looks good to go. JTtheOG (talk) 18:51, 22 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
