  • Pending a review from me. Howard the Duck (talk) 01:22, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
    • This is a newly-promoted GA, so this doesn't have problems. All we need is a QPQ review. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:22, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
      • @Howard the Duck: Quoting from WP:DYKR: The fact that an article has been accepted as a Good article should not be considered an assumption that the article meets these criteria. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:43, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Article is...
      • new enough, nominated hours after passing WP:GA.
      • long enough, passes the eye test.
      • within policy; is neutral, cites sources with inline citations, and Earwig didn't find copyvios. I'm unsure with with the rather liberal red-linking though. Is his brother Everett truly notable? AFAIK, U.S. high schools are not disambiguated as "Murphy High School (California)"; there's a good chance you may have missed it if the article exists. These aren't items that fail a nom though, so this still is okay.
    • Hook is...
      • short enough, passes the eye test.
      • content is good enough; sporting families exist, but not usually on multiple sports.
    • Other requirements are met: QPQ is done, and there are no images to review.
