General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: All three hooks are supported in the article, and would be interesting for DYK (ALT1 concerns aside). I slightly reworded the first hook as ALT0a below. Joofjoof (talk) 04:28, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
