2013–14 Harvard Crimson men's basketball team

edit

5x expanded by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self nominated at 15:50, 28 October 2013 (UTC).

  • While this article technically meets the DYK-requirements when it comes to length and date of expansion and nomination, it does fail the supplementary guideline D7, as the article is not complete. It discusses the pre-season, and expectation ahead of the coming season, but nothing about the actual season, obviously, since the season hasn't started yet. If add that the hook is dull and not a tad interesting, I don't see any good reasons why we should approve this nomination. I'm not saying that this should be rejected no matter how much you improve the article, but it needs more flesh to not look like a "work in progress" and you need a more interesting hook.

  • D7 is not a reason to fail a college basketball season article at the beginning of the season. I usually put a couple of these through DYK every year and no one has ever raised that objection. I am trying to find some more interesting content, however.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:27, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
  • That noone hasn't raised any concerns are more an indicator of the flaws in the DYK-project, if you ask me. I'll have a look at the additions later today. Mentoz86 (talk) 14:27, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
