*[[File:Symbol confirmed.svg|16px]] Article was new at the time of nomination and meets the prose length requirements. I don't see any NPOV/obvious CV issues, and everything is appropriately cited. I don't read French but I'm AGF that the refs are reliable. The hook is interesting and formatted appropriately; fact is present in the article and cited. QPQ good. We're good to go here I think. ♠[[User:Premeditated Chaos|PMC]]♠ [[User_talk:Premeditated Chaos|(talk)]] 13:25, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
