5x expanded by Cunard (talk). Self-nominated at 04:59, 23 May 2020 (UTC).
- Article has been kept at AfD, so starting the review
Article is long enough (10626 characters), has been 5x expanded according to DYK Check, nominated in time (expansion started 20 May, nominated 23 May), and article is within policy. Copyvio tool gets 39.7% chance of copyvio, but these are all direct quotes so not actually copyvios- Hook is short enough, interesting, and well-cited (by combination of the 2 sources)
QPQ not done. Cunard please can you provide a QPQ for this nomination?
Overall this nomination will be good to go once QPQ is done. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:25, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
