Newly created, plenty long, and well-written (probably ready for a GA nomination!) No sourcing or copyvio issues. ALT1 is the most interesting hook; it's short enough and well-sourced. QPQ done. Image is own work by the nominator, works at this scale, and in use in the article. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 03:48, 3 May 2021 (UTC) reply
