Shane Larkin
[edit]... that Miami Hurricanes point guard Shane Larkin, the son of Hall of Famer Barry Larkin, quit baseball after a Little League coach told him the tutoring he had received from Tony Perez and Pete Rose was "all wrong"?

- The article was new at the moment of nomination. The hook is too long with more than 200 characters (212 characters).--Antidiskriminator (talk) 08:07, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- ALT1:... that Miami Hurricanes point guard Shane Larkin, the son of Barry Larkin, quit baseball after a Little League coach told him the tutoring he had received from Tony Perez and Pete Rose was "all wrong"?
- Fixed length VictorianMutant(Talk) 17:06, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. It is now 199 characters which is not more than 200. I will continue my review.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:07, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
This nomination has been sitting for a while, so I'd like to help it move it along. Article is new enough, long enough, adequately-referenced. Hook is under 200 char and verified. However, citations are needed for the information I tagged in the article. I also suggest shortening the hook a little more, as follows:- ALT2:

- Fixed cites. I have no problem with ALT2, although still prefer ALT1. VictorianMutant(Talk) 03:41, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- I apologize because I forgot to continue my review. Thanks Yoninah for your help. I also prefer Alt1 if you don't mind it being borderline long?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 06:55, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- Then we'll go with ALT1. Thanks for the cites, VictorianMutant. I just don't see the rankings (one of top 20 point guards, one of 72 best players) in footnote 5. Yoninah (talk) 10:55, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think the link where I got that has gone dead. The scout.com does say 28th best PG's so I'll change the article to reflect that. So we're good to go? VictorianMutant(Talk) 22:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
