Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 16:41, 15 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]

New article that was moved to mainspace on 13 December 2020 is 13,550 characters and nominated two days later. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to direct quotes from speech that have all been cited) and no close paraphrasing issues spotted (allowing for WP:LIMITED and direct quotes). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 110 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 3 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from the FT. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:45, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
