Hi and thanks for your contribution. However, this article was created with 12 kB of prose from other articles. Therefore, it is ineligible per supplementary guideline A5, If some of the text in a nominated article was copied from another Wikipedia article, and the copied text is more than seven days old, then the copied text must be expanded fivefold as if the copied text had been a separate article.
