The article is new enough (created: 27 March; nominated: 28 March), long enough, and within policy (neutral, appropriately sourced, no coyvio detected). The hook is short enough and its fact is interesting with an unexpected juxtaposition. Both halves of the hook are in the text and are backed up by inline citations. QPQ is confirmed. This looks good to go, I'd say. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:44, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
