Comment: This article is currently going through the WP:GAN process. I am the main contributor to this article and nominator for GA review however I did not nominate for DYK as I was waiting to achieve GA status. I believe this nomination should be rejected given it does not currently pass the DYK criteria, however given my proximity to the article I will leave the final decision of this nomination to another user.
