Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 10:19, 24 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

New article that was moved to mainspace on 24 January 2021 is 3,212 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected [1] and duplication detector [2][3] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF scanned refs and foreign language sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article are well-sourced. Main hook is 120 characters long (ALT1 is 130); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Refs 7 and 8 (verifying the hook and ALT1, respectively) are reliable sources (AGF as there is no preview available). QPQ done. Image is free. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:45, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
