QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article was recently created and nominated within a week. No copyright issues picked up by Earwig and no QPQ needed. I think the hook can work with or without the image, but I will leave it up to the promoter whether to include it or not. -- Zoo Blazer 21:21, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
