Created by Nvvchar (talk). Self-nominated at 09:04, 20 November 2015 (UTC).
Article was newly created when originally nominated and meets the size requirements. It is fully cited, and I have taken the liberty of duplicating the cite from the end of the paragraph to add to the sentence containing the hook fact. I also fixed an error that was coming up from the book source (although to be honest, I'm not sure why the error was appearing in the first place, but it seems to have been fixed). Spot checks don't show any copy violation issues and the image licences are fine. Personally I'd go with the other image from the article, but I'll leave that up to you. Good to go.

"Yunan" currently links to a disambiguation page. It should be fixed before this goes to the main page. Daniel Case (talk) 23:44, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
