Has been a while since you've had a GAN up for review, but I will take on this due to your timely responses in the past on strong articles! --K. Peake 07:24, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

Annoyingly, the full date isn't known, so I went with the year (which I've now sourced). Yeepsi (talk) 13:27, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
