 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new, was expanded from 192 chars before expansion began to 6,574 chars on nomination date exceeding 5x-limit. It is neutral and cites sources inline. There is no copy-vio issue although the "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports high rates. Hook (ALT1) is interesting. Its length is under limit. Its fact is cited inline. Image (2nd) is used in the article and is ©-free. However, it is somewhat difficult to view in small size. Good to go. CeeGee 14:13, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
