Article is long enough and nominated in the proper time frame. It would be nice to see the merge tag taken care of, but I don't think it violates DYK rules, since it's discussing merging another article into this one. This article is neutral and properly sourced, and spotchecks show no concerns with copyvio or sources not covering information. The hook is of the proper length and formatting and properly sourced. The image is properly licensed and used in the article, but in my opinion it looks kind of like a black and white smudge at this size. Just my opinion, though...
