Reviewed: Third nom, so QPQ not needed

The article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. I adore these types of articles: lesser known historical content that deserves more attention. Article was moved to mainspace today (a.k.a. within seven days of this nomination). QPQ is exempt. Hook is interesting and sourced. Image is in the public domain and is used within the article. This is good to go! – Rhain ☔ 10:44, 11 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
