Bobby White

[edit]
  • ... that police officer Bobby White rose to fame after playing basketball with a group of boys?
  • ALT1:... that police officer Bobby White received a call complaining about a group of boys playing basketball too loudly, but he joined them instead?
  • ALT2:... that a video of police officer Bobby White playing basketball with a group of boys received over 17 million views online?

  • New enough, long enough, within policy, hooks are in accordance with policy. Would also offer ALT3:... that a video of police officer Bobby White playing basketball with a group of boys in inner-city neighborhood Gainesville, Florida went viral?
Should also consider whether the article subject should be the video as opposed to the subject of the video. Don't know if the police officer independently notable. Plot Spoiler (talk) 18:26, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
@Plot Spoiler: I am in support of ALT3. About the title, I believe it should be changed, but I have no ideas on what to change it to. If anyone has a plan, let me know. Dictator313 (talk) 21:04, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
Why not just "Basketball Cop"? Already bolded in the lead. Plot Spoiler (talk) 21:16, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
@Plot Spoiler: OK, that seems like a good idea. Feel free to rename the page. Dictator313 (talk) 21:17, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
