  • While the article is new enough and more than long enough according to DYKcheck, and is interesting, there are serious problems with the hook and the article's sourcing. The hook is 243 characters, far beyond the absolute maximum of 200, isn't grammatically correct, and virtually none of the assertions are backed up by an inline source in the article sentence where the relevant statement is made as DYK requires. More important, all but one of the article's sources are Google itself: there are no independent secondary sources except for one non-Google commercial site's blog, which may not itself be a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. While this article may well be about a notable topic, the sourcing is almost entirely primary, and therefore does not meet DYK's guidelines, or those for Wikipedia in general. In addition, most paragraphs are unsourced, and by DYK rules, each paragraph in the body should have at least one inline source. This article will require a very large amount of work if it is to meet DYK standards. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:46, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
