  • Well-referenced, well-written, even with some inaccessible sources. I was thinking about John Wooden opposition as a hook, but I guess it is not as strong as the original hook. If there are no further problems with list/article hybrid, then a good to go. --George Ho (talk) 20:58, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Nevertheless, if copyright status of an image is too dubious, then remove it. That should not affect the hook substantially. --George Ho (talk) 21:01, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • If other images within this article are possibly non-free, remove them from this article and nominate them for deletion. That's simple and a small issue that should have very little or no effect on this nomination. --George Ho (talk) 21:08, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I'm not a copyright expert, but I'll note that these images were already used in multiple articles and are licensed on Commons as being is the public domain. No tags are currently in the article or on these images.—Bagumba (talk) 21:17, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
    • Correction: The image with the hook is new. The others were existing. The hook image is from a 1964 college yearbook with no copyright notice, and is believed to be in the public domain.—Bagumba (talk) 21:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • My own correction: from Archive.org: "In copyright. Digitized with permission of the Regents of the University of California" --George Ho (talk) 22:05, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
    • I suspect that might be boilerplate, as it says "Possible copyright status" (note "possible"). Per Wikipedia:Public domain#Published_works, works published in the U.S. without a copyright notice from 1923 to 1977 are in the public domain. The disclaimer on an archive site would not appear to be able to retroactively apply a copyright.—Bagumba (talk) 23:18, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
    If the hook is used without an image, I suggest a revision to possibly make it more interesting without the photo:
