• Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced and free of copyvio. Created within seven days of this nomination. Hooks are interesting, succinct, and referenced; ALT1 is my favourite, then ALT2, but all three are incredibly interesting. QPQ looks good. This is good to go! A fascinating read—thank you for sharing. – Rhain ☔ ( he/him) 00:17, 27 March 2023 (UTC) reply
