The article was made on the 10th and nominated on the 15th, so is new enough. The article is clearly long enough and it reads neutrally, uses inline citations, and the copyvio detector is only finding the direct quotes used in the article. The hooks all look good and are interesting (though ALT5 is too long, so I've stricken it). You only have 2 DYK credits, so no QPQ required just yet and there's no image to review. So the only thing to hold this submission up is, which hook would you prefer, @Berig:? Because they all meet the criteria. Silver seren^C 20:01, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT5 may be the "hookiest", and is only 6 characters too long. It could easily be edited to an acceptable length. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:28, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I rephrase it as ALT6 and suggest it be chosen.–Berig (talk) 20:33, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Approve ALT6 Good to go then! Silver seren^C 20:47, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
