 * Symbol voting keep.svg New article is 5,284 characters long and completed on the same day as nomination. Duplication detector check of only two online sources  reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF offline ones and waiving direct and attributed quotes).  Article is well-sourced.  Hook is 77 characters long (ALT1 is 143 and ALT2 is 146); all three are under the 200 character max and are interesting.  All hooks are verified by the sources (AGF offline ones like ref 2).  QPQ done.  Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:43, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
