5x expanded by GGOTCC (talk).
Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.

Newly expanded to slightly over 5X the stub, no copyright/close paraphrasing issues; well-sourced, neutrally voiced, presentable; very interesting even as a footnote, with hooks cited to good scholarly sources; image is public domain (the license should be completed with a PD art one, since the original image is from the Renaissance), but not exactly high quality (also consider uploading this alternative).No QPQ required from nominator. This article is a nice break from all the trite promotional articles about vapid and terminally online celebrities. Dahn (talk) 05:50, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
