An interesting article, clearly notable, and by my calculation just over a 5x expansion (not counting the list parts). The article is now well written and well sourced, the subtle barb in ALT2 makes it a worthy hook, and the hook itself is (mostly) well sourced. A minor exception is that the number 42 does not appear in the article, but it is a simple calculation from the sourced information that does appear, so I don't think this is significant, and the one source in the hook that I can read (through Google translate) makes a point of his long career. I don't remember seeing the "BLP tag" requirement in previous DYK reviews (it's been a few months) but that's ok as well. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:30, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
