Bill Swancutt

[edit]
  • Reviewed: Bernard Gavrin
  • Comment: Don't know much about American Football so I could do with some help on the hook?!?

2x expanded and sourced (BLP) 5x expanded by Staceydolxx (talk). Self nominated at 16:08, 31 December 2014 (UTC).

  • Note: this is not eligible for the 2x unsourced BLP exception because the article included two sources prior to expansion, but that's okay, because a normal 5x expansion has been done. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 00:20, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
  • I can't figure out how to fix it, but current wording of hook makes it sound like he was a financial advisor during his football days. EEng (talk) 08:54, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
ALT 1 -- How about ... that former Oregon State defensive end Bill Swancutt broke school records in sacks and tackles for loss, and went on to become a financial advisor? I can't approve my own hook, but the facts seem to check out here, with the records going to source number three, and the financial advisor piece going to the Statesman Journal, and the expansion being the requisite size and within the requisite timeframe. The article does have adequate inline citations, so at this point, we just need approval on the hook. Go Phightins! 20:06, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Sounds good to me! ツStacey (talk) 20:46, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Expansion started on 30 December, so I moved the nomination to the date accordingly. George Ho (talk) 00:34, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Just need a review on ALT 1 ... the rest is done. Go Phightins! 15:50, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm happy to approve that alt hook. WormTT(talk) 11:07, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
