General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - The prose here needs some tweaking-- should be "internationally successful" instead of "international successful". In the main hook, "eachother" should be separated into two words.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Just a couple of minor fixes per above, really interesting subject and great hooks! Nomader (talk) 20:27, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

  • @Nomader: Good that I've just looked at here. Normally, a note in the talk page of the nominator is expected when the DYK-nom does not pass after reviewing. Anyway, thank you for your review. I offer the following ALT2: CeeGee 06:30, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

      • Hey CeeGee! I'm so sorry, I've usually had the experience that the DYK bot notifies automatically when you mark the status like that, not my intention at all. ALT2 is approved, great work! Nomader (talk) 04:06, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
