Comment Isn't it a bit tasteless and insensitive seeking to put this in when the chap has been found dead in so-far unexplained circumstances? Johnlp (talk) 10:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

@Johnlp: I don't personally think so, but I can see why others might. I've seen many cricket articles greatly expanded shortly after the person died, and so decided to do one myself, however, if people would prefer, I can ask for it not to go on main page for a while.

@Joseph2302: I just wonder what his parents or team-mates might think if they saw something that makes no mention of their current tragedy in a section of WP that is, for the most part, fairly light-hearted. I don't think it should run here at all. That's not to decry your expansion, which is good and appropriate; just the positioning here. Johnlp (talk) 20:51, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

My intentions were the exact opposite- to draw attention to, and celebrate, the life that he had.
I made this DYK nomination in good faith, so do not plan to withdraw this nomination. However, I will not hold it against @Johnlp: or anyone else who opposes this nomination, and ultimately if consensus doesn't think it should be run, then don't run it.

I'll leave my comments here, but I certainly didn't mean to imply any lack of GF on your part: far from it. Johnlp (talk) 23:41, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Nice work on the expansion. I like Alt1 best as the hook. Just needs to link to List A cricket rather than List A, as that redirects. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:30, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Done Joseph2302 (talk) 19:56, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

this needs a full review against DYK criteria. Any takers, John or Lugnuts? Jolly Ω Janner 09:12, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. Going for the original hook which is well-cited, as it is a very positive fact, celebrating his short career. The article is neutral and does not appear to have any copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:14, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
