5x expanded, article is NPOV and reliably-sourced, hook is interesting, reliably-sourced in-article. Verified QPQ required in order to pass. ViperSnake151 Talk 23:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks ViperSnake151. Have added QPQ above. Also changed "in" to "into" in the hook as I think it's better. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:16, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
