Article length of over 3000 characters is good for the new article. Age of 2 days is fine. No copyvio or plagiarism concerns - reads 0.0% on Earwig copyvio detector. Reliable sources are used. Hook checks out and is properly referenced. QPQ has been done. Article is Good To Go.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:34, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
