- Article is neutral, suitably referenced, free from copyvio, and meets the length and newness criteria—moved to mainspace on the same day as this nomination. The hooks are interesting, succinct, neutral, and verifiable—if I had to pick, ALT0 is my preference, though all three are appropriate. QPQ is done. This is good to go! Thanks for writing such a fascinating and important article. – Rhain ☔ he
