Review New enough. Long enough. 7X-plus expansion: from 429 to 3213 words of readable text. DYK supported amply by many sources. No Copy violations or plagiarism problem. Desktop plagiarism checker was clean. As to offline sources, I had to WP:AGF, but enough on line sources supported the hook. In any event, the nominator's credentials make such an assumption proper. And I think that this is about as sexy a hook as this subject and this article will allow. QPQ was done. Photograph taken 1938 is in "pubic domain" per New Zealand law.
