Article created Feb. 10, prose is of sufficient length, references seem to check out. Image is PD and not seeing any problems there. Not seeing any problems with this one. —Ed!(talk) 02:20, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg The prose content is only 1055 characters. The minimum is 1500 characters, not including subheads, infobox, categories, references, lists, and tables. Yoninah (talk) 23:14, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * is it acceptable in this instance for me to add more to the prose? I imagine I could find some but haven't got a lot of experience with this kind of objection at DYK. —Ed!(talk) 01:37, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * yes, certainly. The icon is just an indication that the nomination is unsatisfactory. Anyone can improve the article so it meets the criteria and claim co-creation credit. Then another reviewer will finish up the nomination. Yoninah (talk) 09:50, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, take a look now, it has been expanded. —Ed!(talk)</b> 23:32, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. The first hook is the best IMO; hook ref verified and cited inline. Images in article are freely licensed. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. I'm adding to the DYK co-creation credits. ALT0 good to go, though I think the image is too fuzzy for the image slot. Yoninah (talk) 12:10, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
