Article was moved to mainspace on the 6th and nominated on the 12th, so is new enough. At just over 2000 characters, it is long enough. The article is well-written, neutral, properly uses in-line citations, and I see no issues with the copyvio detector other than generic phrasing. The hook is short enough, cited in-line in the article, and is interesting. No QPQ is required and there is no image to review. Looks good to go! Silver seren^C 01:13, 15 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
