{{AFC comment|1=As an update of the status quo, this draft has several good-faith editors closely committed to making sure any submission of the draft is of solid quality, including myself, User:PantheonRadiance, User:Sahaib, and User:GhaziTwaissi. Ideally, to avoid a draft rejection that would undermine all the good-faith work and effort, I would recommend any submission to be okayed beforehand either by one of us or another Wikipedian in good standing. The latest IP draft submission was not endorsed by any of us, and we recognize that the community would like some more reliable sources and a degree of article expandion before it goes to mainspace. As highlighted by PantheonRadiance's remark below the comments, the subject was identified as passing GNG per RFC consensus; it's more of a matter of getting reliable sources into the article (including from the RFC source review) and expanding it appropriately now. The draft talk page has now been unsalted so that discussion of the draft no longer has to be unnecessarily spread out across several user talk pages and noticeboards.DrewieStewie (talk) 20:00, 4 January 2024 (UTC)}}
