Not quite ready
In my opinion, the article (here) is not quite ready to move into article space. I'll explain why, and remove the request to move this article into article space. Other editors may feel differently, so if you disagree with my reasons, feel free to replace the move request template, and someone else may move it for you.

Wikipedia articles have a specific structure to them, specified in a guideline called Layout (Click on the link to see the details). Your draft doesn't incorporate some of the required elements of the structure. If you read the page, it will help you understand what is needed and how to do it.

It is important for Wikipedia articles to have references to reliable sources. While you have some references, I believe you need additional references to make this article acceptable. Please add some references to support the factual claims in the draft article.-- SPhilbrick  T  21:31, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
