@Kevmin: Are you still going to be reviewing this? Z1720 (talk) 20:00, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article creation new enough and article much more than long enough. Older book sources that are off line taken as AGF. The article is neutral and the sections are well cited. The hooks are off line and taken agf. If they are deemed "boring" an alternate hook could be created from the suggested survival past the Grande Coupure extinction. Looks good to go.--Kev min § 21:44, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
