Comment the article is the subject of an AfD discussion started on 16 February, so I suggest that a review should wait until that is resolved. TSventon (talk) 11:00, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TSventon: I'll review this, but the nominator withdrew the AfD four days ago... did their comment slip by everyone? E_F⁵ 14:38, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article looks pretty good so far! Everything is cited, no outstanding copyvios and it's formatted pretty well. The first note [a] is questionable to include as it can just be listed in prose, but this isn't a GA review. Waiting for the AfD to close, but it's either, with 100% confidence, going to snowball or someone will notice that it was withdrawn four days ago. Sources are verifiable, as well. Just waiting for that AfD to close and I can mark it as good. :) E_F⁵ 14:42, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@EF5: The AfD ended as keep! Can this nom be passed now? Cheers! Johnson524 17:02, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
