Comment: Giving credit to original author of article, I just expanded it.

Deion Sanders is a big deal, I think. If you don't mind, let's put his name here so this nomination gets noticed.

ALT1 .. that Prime Prep Academy which was co-founded by Deion Sanders and served as a backdrop for Deion's Family Playbook, later fired Sanders as the school's head coach? — Maile (talk) 20:39, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

I think you mean Prime Time ;-), but the ALT hook works for me. I just want to scrupulusly adhere to the "Must Be Cited" statements Hasteur (talk) 20:45, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Not sure what you meant by the Prime Time comment. Adjust the hook at will. However, it did occur to me this hook might be passed over for a long time as "what's the big deal about that?" unless you put Deion Sanders in there. — Maile (talk) 20:56, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Prime Time is Deion Sanders' nickname. Hasteur (talk) 19:55, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Complete review needed. — Maile (talk) 01:00, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
Article length, newness, and compliance with policy all check out. ALT1 is interesting and supported byu inline citations that verify the content. However, I suggest shortening it a bit as I didn't see any reason to mention the reality show:

ALT2: that Prime Prep Academy, which was co-founded by professional football player Deion Sanders, later fired him as the school's head coach?

I'll leave the decision as to which version to use up the promoting admin. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:00, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

I, as the advocate for the submission, am fine with ALT2. I attempted to make the hook interesting by masking which pro-football player it was, but it's for the best. The school has attracted a significant amount of negative attention which is reflected in the article so I'm trying to rigorously adhere to the overall content guidelines.

Then if ALT2 is fine with the reviewer and the nominator, I'll approve it and strike ALT1. And, Hasteur, thanks for enlightening me about the nickname. Now I know how the school got its name. I know who Sanders is, but not the details of his career(s). — Maile (talk) 21:22, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
