Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 170 characters long (ALT1 is 176; ALT2 is 110); all three are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Refs 2 and 4 (verifying ALT1), 3 (verifying ALT2), and 9 (verifying main hook) are reliable sources (French translation checks out). QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:11, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
