Article was made today, so is new enough. At just over 3000 characters, it is long enough. The article reads neutrally and properly uses in-line citations. The copyvio detector finds nothing outside of names for places and things. The hook is interesting, short enough, and is cited inline. There is no photo to review and the QPQ is done. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 20:13, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
