Expanded from redirect by Frederick Green (talk), PapaSmirk (talk). Nominated by PapaSmirk (talk) at 15:17, 3 March 2014 (UTC).


 * Article is new enough, from redirect to full article on 3 March 2014, same day as nominated.
 * Article is long enough. Over 5k characters, over 900 words now.
 * In reviewing history and references, noted article was cut-and-paste moved.
 * Holding until history merge is completed to avoid creating more work for an admin.
 * Merge completed by Anthony Appleyard (talk). Thanks for the quick work!
 * Neutral, in-line citations. Most are reliable sources; some primary or questionable sources cited for minor details, well within policy and guidelines. Hook has an appropriate citation to a reliable source.
 * No close paraphrasing, copyvio or plagiarism problem found (Checked 7 blocks of text with Google, scanned 15 ref's available on-line)
 * Hook is accurate, short enough (<158 characters), properly formatted and supported by an in-line citation to a reliable source.
 * Suggesting alternate hook. That Hehtal is a HS math teacher isn't particularly interesting or hooky. That the atheist activist raised funds to help a church is ironic and hooky. Since I suggested the alternate hook, I can't approve my own hook. Leaving this for another reviewer to close. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) Join WER 16:00, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
