The article is long enough and new enough with no copyright violations. I went ahead and directly cited part of the hook's information for DYK I will approve the original hook once a QPQ is completed. SL93 (talk) 00:56, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @SL93:. I have added my QPQ. Please have a look. Appreciate your efforts in reviewing the article. Ktin (talk) 18:34, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
