Article length, date, and general compliance with policy look good. Fact is interesting and verified by inline citations. As an FYI, there is no need for language such as "is said to", "reportedly", etc. which tends to convey doubt about the truth of a statement. If a RS reports something as true without qualifiers, you should to. (I have edited the article accordingly already.) --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:47, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
