Created by DaffodilOcean (talk). Self-nominated at 02:24, 5 January 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced—created on 5 January, the same day as this nomination. Hooks are all interesting, succinct, neutral, and reliably sourced; ALT0 is easily the strongest. Image is suitably licensed, and fits incredibly well with ALT0. AGF on offline sources. Nominator is exempt from QPQ per note. This is good to go! A very fascinating topic; thank you for your work. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 04:07, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
