• Comment. You can't be "buried in a snowstorm". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:05, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

• Don't say that, Cwmhiraeth! You can do anything you set your mind to! (Changed to "during"; hopefully the implication that he was buried in snow during a snowstorm is clear enough.) BobAmnertiopsis∴_ChatMe! 08:19, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

• Yes, that's better! If you do your QPQ review, I'll review this nomination. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:22, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

• ALT1 ... that Cloud Man and his entire hunting party survived being buried in snowdrifts for almost three days?

• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are sourced and accepted in good faith, the article is neutral and I was unable to check for policy issues because the sources were not accessible to me. I guess Cloud Man was a resourceful man and used to such hardships as being buried in snowdrifts. I have added ALT1, which I think has more impact. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:39, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

• The claim in the hook is from the subject's own account and not independently verified, so it shouldn't be presented as an established fact. Gatoclass (talk) 09:45, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

• Good call. ALT2 ... that Cloud Man and his entire hunting party reportedly survived being buried in snowdrifts for almost three days?

ALT3 ... that Cloud Man told missionary Samuel Pond that he and his entire hunting party had survived being buried in snowdrifts for almost three days? @Cwmhiraeth:, @Gatoclass: BobAmnertiopsis∴_ChatMe! 16:36, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

• I would approve ALT3. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:14, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
