  • Article is new, long enough, AGF the offline citation for the hook. Good to go. NinaGreen (talk) 05:47, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
  • I think this hook is about as boring as it gets. Isn't there anything more suitable in the article?--Carabinieri (talk) 17:02, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
  • I've leave a note on the editor's Talk page to see whether he has any suggestions. Perhaps this would work: 'Although the Beaudesert Shire Tramway carried almost 7000 passengers in its first year of operation in 1905, it was closed 40 years later for lack of traffic?'

  • Move to close nomination based on the nominator being able to work on it further? Miyagawa (talk) 18:29, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Shouldn't the article and the hook be considered on their own merits?--Carabinieri (talk) 02:57, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
  • We have a hook that you rejected as boring, and an article that perhaps deserves extra scrutiny now that we know it was written by a sockpuppet. For example, there was an AGF for the hook's offline citation: should we AGF for a sockpuppet? If NinaGreen's potential alternate isn't considered an adequate hook or also has the same offline sourcing—you could always review it, since Nina cannot—then either someone else has to take over handling issues affecting this submission (including hook creation), or the unanswered issues will eventually cause it to be rejected.

  • A nomination from what appears to be a disruptive sockpuppet, based entirely on offline sources, is obviously not a suitable candidate for the main page. Gatoclass (talk) 11:03, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
