5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 01:52, 24 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Good to go. Article is long enough and was expanded by more than 5x starting on July 22. Article is well and neutrally written and well sourced/cited. Earwig check detected some paraphrasing from the SABR bio but nothing that appears untoward. Hook fact is short enough, interesting enough, and supported by in-line citation to the SABR bio. QPQ is complete. Cbl62 (talk) 21:52, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
