@CFA and 64.189.246.115: Great hooks. I think I prefer ALT0 the most followed by ALT1. The nomination was made in time and the hooks all seem to be verified from the sources. The article meets the size requirements and uses in-line citations where necessary. There is a potential copyvio from a Billboard source so you should paraphrase its usage a bit.--N Ø 11:43, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Earwig only scores 40% because of WP:LIMITED terms like "Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations" and "Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis" and quotes. There's not really anything to change. C F A 💬 14:29, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MaranoFan: Is this approved? If not, what else does @CFA: need to do? (For the record, I have struck ALT3 per WP:DYKHOOKBLP and ALT4 per WP:DYKINT, I prefer ALT2 followed by ALT0, and I've proposed WP:DYKTRIMmed versions of both.)--Laun chba ller 11:11, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with @CFA:'s assessment that the terms in this article come under WP:LIMITED. Approving ALT0a and ALT2a - and if you find yourself wedded to any of the others, ping me and I'll assess them.--Laun chba ller 09:16, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To add to article

In order to help make this article more properly encyclopedic, shouldn't we add specifically what Young Thug and his record company are alleged to have done to constitute racketeering? Racketeering is defined by Wikipedia as "a type of organized crime in which the perpetrators set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme or operation (a 'racket') to repeatedly or consistently collect a profit." 98.123.38.211 (talk) 22:17, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
