5x expanded by DanCherek (talk). Self-nominated at 18:30, 8 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Before expansion, the character count was 234 according to Special:PermanentLink/1001582327, after expansion the prose count stands at 3604 Special:PermanentLink/1011040091, so 5X expanded within the last seven days. The article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, neutrally written with no significant copyvios (score amazing at 2.9%). Both hooks are cited-inline in the article and are interesting; either could be used but I prefer the first hook. The source is in foreign language so I'll AGF on it. A QPQ has been done by the nominator. Good to go! :) Ashley yoursmile! 05:58, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
