Verifiable with no original research:

Broad in its coverage:

Bearing in mind that the article is very small, it does appear to cover all relevant aspects of the topic for which reputable information from third-party material could be acquired, and does not contain any trivial details.

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions

I remember having read a comment by another user, with an example provided, that size in itself does not make much difference in whether an article can qualify for GA status. I must admit, I had some doubts that in my experience as a GA reviewer I would ever come across an article fitting this bill, but I believe that I have, as of this one. Congratulations!

Many thanks for the rapid review and for dealing with the size issue. There is probably not much else that can be said about this topic based on reliable sources. Much appreciated.--SabreBD (talk) 20:54, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
