Agree this would be a great DYK. I forget exactly where the guideline is, but you're likely to get dinged if you don't have at least one cite per paragraph (happened to me once). So probably best to add those before you nominate.

@
Ab207 and
Ktin: Yes, congrats on the DYK :) Thanks for turning an unfortunate, confusing article into a detailed, well-sourced, interesting one! I'm not often glad to have nominated articles for deletion, but in this case I definitely am.
