• The article is new and long enough. I am afraid that the subject of this article does not meet requirements of the Notability guideline. I presented more details on the article's talk page. I think that unless some sources which actually meet the requirements of the notabilty guideline are presented within reasonable period of time this article should be deleted. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:07, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

• Thank you Antidiskriminator. Please see the talk page where I have addressed your concerns about notability of this subject.Sgerbic (talk) 03:38, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

• All welcome comments on Talk Antidiskriminator. Now that Firestein has been deemed notable, can we move forward with the DYK?Sgerbic (talk) 21:25, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I was wrong about notability. Since nominator still did not have more than five nominations it was not necessary to review another article. The hook is not too long (131 characters). Image is free, used in the article and looks ok. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:47, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
