Article was moved to mainspace today, so is new enough. The article is ~1900 characters, so is long enough and reads neutrally with in-line citations. The copyvio detector only found things like names of places, so no problems there. The hook is short enough, interesting, and is cited in-line. The only thing we're waiting on at the moment is for the QPQ to be done. Silver seren^C 23:33, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
