5x expanded by Casliber (talk). Self-nominated at 13:54, 28 April 2016 (UTC).

Article is newly expanded, long enough, and within policy. Copyvio checker doesn't throw up anything. Hook looks good, interesting and cited. Don't have access to the relevant book but AGF. QPQ done. Image looks good, is not non-free. So article is G2G. Retroplum (talk) 18:23, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
