Improved to Good Article status by Peacemaker67 (talk). Self-nominated at 07:32, 4 July 2017 (UTC).
An extensive well-sourced GA article that meets requirements with neutrality, copyright, and length. The hook is sourced accordingly in the article and is interesting enough to persuade readers to learn about Neligan.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 04:33, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

- That's a fair complaint. It's time I got my A into G with DYKs, at least on my GAs. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:19, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
