 * Please look more closely at the article history. It was created in my user space 9 days ago. It did not exist in article space until this morning. As WP:DYK says, "Articles that have been worked on exclusively in a user or user talk subpage or at articles for creation and then moved (or in some cases pasted) to the article mainspace are considered new as of the date they reach the mainspace."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg - no other issues. King Jakob  C2 20:16, 4 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article new enough, long enough and sourced with inline citations. AGF on offline sources. Hook is within limit and sourced. QPQ done. To avoid confusion, next time when you move an article from userpage you can write "mainspace" instead of "new" when creating the nomination. Cheers.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  21:41, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
