Article is long enough and new enough. Hook reference verified to scholarly source. No copy vio or close paraphrasing detected. QPQ done. I like the first hook but could @George Ho: tweak it a bit to reflect the recentness of the new classification, i.e. that it happened this year? --KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:13, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
