General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: - not done
Overall: Article is new and long enough, well sourced and neutral. The hook is cited and quite interesting. The plagiarism checker flagged one website but that appears to be that website copy-pasting from Wikipedia instead of the other way around. I think the DYK is good to go after the QPQ is provided. [Edit]: The page was moved to "C. J. Okoye", so the name in the hook should be changed to that too. Shuipzv3 (talk) 13:24, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Shuipzv3: Reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Mark Murphy (safety, born 1958) as a QPQ and modified the hook. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:08, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good to go. Shuipzv3 (talk) 12:30, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BeanieFan11, I've been looking at this one at DYKNA for a while. It's a good hook and I've been hoping to promote it, but it doesn't seem to quite check out -- the article and sources say his first organized football game was in the NFL. Could this be clarified in the hooks? Vaticidalprophet 15:33, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaticidalprophet: Done. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:38, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nice -- I'll get it the next prep I build :) Vaticidalprophet 15:43, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
