I'll review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:01, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Two issues. First, the article is not long enough. I calculated that the expanded version would need to be 7,600 characters to qualify as a 5x expansion. Currently, it is 7,414 characters long. So it would need a small expansion to pass. Secondly, a QPQ has not yet been provided. Everything else is good.

BeanieFan11, it should be expanded now. Will do QPQ shortly. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:20, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BeanieFan11, done. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 15:00, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
