- Comment: * Four minor edits were made by me on November 24 & 26, but the constant expansion was initiated three weeks later on December 17. — Statement and sources supporting hook are found in the 1st paragraph of the 'Legacy' section.
5x expanded by Gwillhickers (talk). Self-nominated at 21:05, 21 December 2021 (UTC).
Article was nominated within 7 days of expansion. Article has more than 1,500 words in prose, with proper inline citations. Wording is neutral. Earwig has a 28.1% match but only because of certain quotes used and cited properly, as well as the title of the newspaper; plagiarism is unlikely. AGF on print sources. QPQ still needs to be done. Hook is good. lullabying (talk) 04:17, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

The QPQ was the only issue noted in the review above, so I think this is now good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:35, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
