Hi Illegitimate Barrister, this article still needs some work, I think? Per the DYK rules it needs 1,500 characters of text aside from the list content and there appears to be only one inline reference so far? There are also many countries not listed. Happy to take another look once it's ready if you ping me. All the best, - Dumelow (talk) 22:15, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
The article has only 15 prose characters, and the nominator has stated on their talk page that they will not be doing further work on the article. This nomination clearly fails the DYK criteria, and is marked for closure. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:32, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
