Promoted to GA on 22 June, so new enough in that sense. Long enough, and within policy. All hooks are good IMO and all are supported by inline citations, some referring to offline works AGF. QPQ not needed. Image properly licensed. This should be good to go. Well-written and interesting piece! Yakikaki (talk) 17:58, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
