  • New article that was moved to mainspace on 22 October 2021‎‎‎‎ is 13,600 characters and nominated six days later. No copyvios detected and duplication detector of online sources[1][2] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF scanned articles and books which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 84 characters long (ALT1 is 120); both are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Ref 3 (verifying the hook and ALT1) is a reliable source from The New Yorker (AGF offline ref). QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:38, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
