Improved to Good Article status by Rhain (talk). Self-nominated at 21:28, 18 October 2016 (UTC).
The article is new enough (nominated within 7 days after its promotion), long enough and neutral. The source for ALT1 and ALT3 are books, so I can't verify them, but ALT0 and ALT2 are verifiable. All hooks are interesting, sourced, and of suitable length. QPQ done. The article is good to go! AdrianGamer (talk) 14:36, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
