Sorry but there's multiple problems with this. The first hook is 449 characters including spaces and isn't snappy enough. Second hook is 272 characters including spaces. Article itself is too short with only 1187 characters of prose. It's not new enough and hasn't been expanded x5. It's also not laid out appropriately as it consists of lots of very large images. It's got merge tags at the top and is classed as a stub too. Secretlondon (talk) 19:24, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
