Moved to mainspace by Kevmin (talk). Self-nominated at 18:16, 26 August 2022 (UTC).

• Interesting article that was moved to mainspace the same day it was nominated. Long enough and all sources look good. Both hooks are short and cited with sources I could check online, ALT1 is a bit more interesting. The article text says the renaming happened in 1988, rather than 1987, like the hook and source say - this seems to be an error. The latter part of the first paragraph in the description section needs a citation. It would be good to point to specific pages in the references, although this is not necessary (I eventually found the relevant part in Labandeira 2002 on p. 51). Otherwise everything looks good and ready to go. QPQ is done. The image is a free photo taken by the nominator. Ffranc (talk) 13:26, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

• Ffranc 1988 was indeed a typo, and I have corrected it to 1987 as it should have been, and I have added an additional citation to the description section as asked.--Kevmin § 18:13, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
