Improved to Good Article status by Kncny11 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:14, 23 May 2021 (UTC).

• The article is long enough (15537 characters) and new enough (promoted as a good article on May 23). As it is a good article, it meets core policies and guidelines. The hook is cited, under 200 characters and is interesting. A QPQ is done. Image mentioned is used in the article, looks fine in 100 × 100px and is free to use (under 2.0 Generic license). The main hook is preferred. Good to go. Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:08, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
