Moved to mainspace by Michael Barera (talk). Self-nominated at 03:30, 10 July 2017 (UTC).

Article was moved to mainspace two days and is long enough (2575 bytes/414 words of prose). Article is well-cited to reliable sources throughout and I did not observe any copyright violations nor close paraphrasing issues. The hook is a little long but I find you can't get a pithy hook through DYK these days, and anyway the hook is accurate and cited appropriately. QPQ is done. Image is available under a free license and shows up well at 100x100. Well done Michael Barera; I'm glad to see this article in mainspace. Mackensen (talk) 22:48, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Mackensen. Feel free to tweak/trim the hook, or propose something entirely different if you would like. I'm admittedly not very good at coming up with catchy hooks. Michael Barera (talk) 01:48, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
