5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:36, 14 December 2021 (UTC).

Newness requirement satisfied by 10-plus fold expansion from about 1,800 characters of narrative text to about 24,500 characters (not counting the list of shows). Article is also long enough, neutrally written, and uses citations effectively. Hook facts are short enough, interesting, and supported. Personally, I've never heard of Chanin and found the hooks referencing him to be less compelling, so I'd favor alt0 or alt4 as more compelling. QPQ complete.
