Moved to mainspace by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:29, 9 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/King Tornado football; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Well it's new enough, long enough, I don't see any copyvios. The sourcing is a bit meager but I think it suffices for the purpose. User:BeanieFan11, I do wonder about the "affiliation"--you list them as "Independent", but that first stint was with that Bristol association. Can you clarify? As for the hook--I'll take the regular one, but that entire thing is just one hook after another. EVERY PLAYER ON THE TEAM SCORED A TD? Surely that's a record. Anyway, clear up the affiliation, do a review, and off to the front page you go. Drmies (talk) 23:37, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Drmies: Thanks for the review. I added a QPQ. As for the affiliation, the Bristol association wasn't the league that they were part of, it just seems to have been a local athletic club that supported / sponsored the team. On reflection, I don't think it is important enough to mention a one-year sponsorship so I removed the mention of it. Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 04:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
