Article was created recently enough before the nomination, is long enough, and meets sourcing and other content requirements. I did make a very small correction to an apparent composition error in ALT1: "it is referred as "Death" by the him" to "it is referred to as "Death"". ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 21:59, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Corachow Something is wrong with the 15th reference. Not only is there a formatting error, but the link also says "We’re sorry, we seem to have lost this page, but we don’t want to lose you. Please report the broken link here." I'm not sure if the link is dead or if it is the wrong URL. SL93 (talk) 07:33, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: It was an error with the template. It is now fixed. Corachow (talk) 10:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Restoring tick. SL93 (talk) 11:41, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
