Improved to Good Article status by Al Ameer son (talk). Self-nominated at 18:07, 26 June 2016 (UTC).

• Al Ameer son - This is long enough, well written as a GA, sourced too. Main hook is directly sourced in the article, AGFing it. Alt1 looks to be sourced too and verified it covers the statement made. QPQ Done. Link check tool returns good results. No copyright violations from what I can see by checking the various results. The picture is high quality and looks to be appropriately tagged to allow it on the main page. I think this hits all the marks, great work.  MPJ-DK  23:52, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
