- Comment: Failed ITN nomination; don't know when it'll be re-nominated. The article was created on 11 February (UTC), a day prior to further fivefold. Feel free to add more ALTs.
5x expanded by Classicfilms (talk), WWGB (talk), Aumnamahashiva (talk), and Libertarian12111971 (talk). Nominated by George Ho (talk) at 06:34, 19 February 2015 (UTC).
Striking ALT1 as too negative on suspect. Per Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Reviewing_guide: "Consider very carefully whether the hook puts undue emphasis on a negative aspect of a living individual." Main hook is somewhat of a downer, and not that interesting IMO that they went to university. I'm proposing ALT3 below.—Bagumba (talk) 02:27, 22 March 2015 (UTC)- ALT2 ... that Stephen Curry honored one of the victims of a deadly shooting while winning the Three-Point Contest?
Restored ALT1, which I don't think is unduly negative. Many media outlets have reported that the only suspect is the victims' neighbor, and the hook does not really name any names. However, the link supporting the hook (ref #6) is dead and needs to be replaced. -Zanhe (talk) 07:35, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
- I replaced one dead link of ref#6 with a fresher one. George Ho (talk) 07:40, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the ref. However, the source only says neighbor, not next-door neighbor, so I removed "next-door" from the article and ALT1. ALT1 is otherwise supported by inline references. The article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. QPQ is done. Spot-checked for copyvio, and no issues detected. ALT1 Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 05:05, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
