Overall: 
Article was new enough when nominated, is easily long enough, takes a generally neutral tone, and has no plagiarism problems that I can see. The first problem is that the nominator already has five DYK credits, meaning that this time requires a quid pro quo review of another DYK nomination. Then, there are some problems with the article itself. First, it has several "Empty section" or "Needs expansion" templates scattered across it; DYK supplementary guideline D7 states that "an article ... that is to appear on the front page should appear to be complete and not some sort of work in progress." Either the article needs to be completed or the unwritten sections removed before it will be tidy enough for the front page. Second, the lead section is not normally expected to contain extensive citations because it is meant to only contain summaries of topics explored more fully (with citations) within the body. However, the lead here contains a great deal of disputable material that is not supported by citations and then is never addressed again within the body. That material should be moved to the body (maybe into some of the incomplete sections?) and then backed up by inline citations. An excellent hook, by the way!

It has been over a month since the above review, and while work was done later in October, there has been no response to a talk-page ping over two weeks ago and there are still some of the problematic templates mentioned above remaining in the article, and the lead section has hardly been edited at all. At this point, what can save the nomination is a reply here from Francis Schonken before this closes, indicating that the issues will be addressed in a timely manner, and the appropriate follow-through.
