 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new (created day of nomination), is long enough, is neutral, passes copyvio check, and passes spot check on sources; QPQ also verifies. I can't readily access the primary source for information in the article, but an alternate source corroborates the information. Everything's good to go, nicely done! Personally, I'd go with either the first hook or ALT1 but all of the hooks work. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 15:58, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
