Nomination was not transcluded so it could not be reviewed; if it had been, it would have been rejected immediately, as no recent expansion had been undertaken, and the article was created by Cameron Dewe in 2002. Further, there is not a single inline source citation, which also would have caused it to fail at DYK.
