... that Art Rooney Jr. presided over what one Pro Football Hall of Fame selector described as "the best drafting run in NFL history"?

Created by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:03, 17 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Art Rooney Jr.; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is new enough (submitted within 6 days of creation), long enough (4785 characters), well sourced with inline citations, neutral in explaining some family/professional drama. No apparent copyvio; Earwig flags 41.5% similarity with one source, but it turns out to be because the article includes some direct quotes from Art Rooney Jr.'s book. QPQ is done. Hook checks out and is cited within the article and is interesting. (Still confusing about Art Rooney Jr. vs. Art Rooney II; curious if Jr. himself had anything to say about having the same name, etc....but that's not a show stopper for DYK.)

@Cielquiparle and BeanieFan11: "Over a six year span"? id that needed as a qualifier or does the hook stand alone? Bruxton (talk) 21:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't add "six-year span". It changes the meaning. Cielquiparle (talk) 01:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

added marine and stage actor cats
hmm, those sources dont actually say he was PR Director from 1961 to 1964

That's all I think. Nice work. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 06:27, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9: This source from 1962 mentions him as public relations director - I could find mentions of him in that role from '61, '63 or '64, though - what would you suggest? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:04, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Adding all those sources. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 02:30, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - @WikiOriginal-9: Sorry, I meant to say that I couldn't find mentions of him in that role in those years. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:38, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - "and as the team's public relations director" change to "and also spending time as the team's public relations director"? Change infobox to say "Various roles"? WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 03:03, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - @WikiOriginal-9: Changed. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:21, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All points have been addressed. Passing the article. Nice work! WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 03:24, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
