Meets newness criteria. GA - long enough, No copyvio. Seems to be the user's first DYK, so no QPQ required. Image seems to be in PD. Offline references are accepted AGF. Hook(s) have been properly cited in the article. I would prefer ALT1 as ALT0 does not seem very hooky. Jupitus Smart 09:14, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
