The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was: rejected by BlueMoonset (talk) 03:42, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Nomination was not transcluded so it could not be reviewed; if it had been, it would have been rejected immediately, as no recent expansion had been undertaken, and the article was created by Cameron Dewe in 2002. Further, there is not a single inline source citation, which also would have caused it to fail at DYK.
