  • Article was created 9 June. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. Hook is interesting and sourced. QPQ is done. Great article. Thriley (talk) 22:08, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
@Thriley and JPxG: The nomination only had an image caption so I moved the image here, but the image is not free so we cannot use it. I hope that we might add sections before promotion, because ATM this looks like a stub. It is a fun subject and might be a good quirky hook. Lightburst (talk) 13:58, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
Thank you. Sections would be good. It is 1693 characters, so meets the minimum. Thriley (talk) 16:32, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
