 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article was brand new at the time of nomination, is long enough (5025 characters) and is neutral. The article content is supported with inline citations and a look at random references shows no concerns. I found no evidence of close paraphrasing or copyright violations. The primary hook is neutral, short and interesting. The cited page for the hook reference is not available on Google Books, but other sources in the entry suggest that it is accurate. QPQ done. Good to go. EricEnfermero (Talk) 06:20, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
