Improved to Good Article status by Wil540 art (talk), Pharos (talk), Rhododendrites (talk), and DutchTreat (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 23:16, 2 September 2021 (UTC).

• Article is long enough and new enough. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. QPQ needs to be done. Hook is interesting to the average reader. A truly excellent article! Thriley (talk) 14:59, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
