  • The article clearly fails supplementary rule D7, which requires the article to be complete. By definition, as the 2013–14 season has not yet started, this article can not possible summarize the season. No other checks have been carried out. Harrias talk 20:03, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
    • I was under the impression that D7 meant the article should be complete relative to that point in time. While this article is about an upcoming season, the article is as complete as is possible right now. It would be incomplete if the season were over and it were missing some substantial section (like the roster, the off-season, etc.) but as the article stands now, nothing is missing. Saying that the article is considered incomplete because the season isn't over yet is like saying any BLP is incomplete because the person is not dead yet. — Hunter Kahn 20:35, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
      • I'm not experienced at DYK but I'll give my 2 cents anyway... I think you are wrong Harrias. There have been, for example, plenty television articles about upcoming episodes that have appeared on the main page while they were at the time "incomplete" as they lacked information on the plot or the reception because the episodes had not yet aired but still, they were eligible. Why would it be different here? --Sofffie7 (talk) 22:32, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
        • I agree with both of your arguments: I've seen this applied before; let me have a look over some recent examples, and see if there is a consensus. If I was wrong in the first instance, I'm happy to hold my hands up and admit that. Harrias talk 06:52, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
          • Okay, I'm happy that having looked through some recent similar nominations there is a consensus that this is fine, my apologies. Given that, the length and date both check out fine. The hook is appropriately referenced online. Checks reveal no evidence of copyvio or close para-phrasing. Good to go. Harrias talk 12:04, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
