  • This is a newly promoted GA and is long enough and nominated in a timely fashion. The image is appropriately licensed, the hook is sourced inline, the article is neutral and my spot checks brought up no policy concerns. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:33, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
  • But the source said it tied a school record set in two previous years. Yoninah (talk) 23:58, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
I seem to have missed that. How about ALT1 then? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:29, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

The image is appropriately licensed but I don't see an inline citation for the new hook. I see an image caption that states "The team's season derailed when Derrick Walton and Caris LeVert were sidelined for the season in January" and inline citations for the two injuries, but not the whole statement.

Is it sufficient to have citations for the independent facts regarding the injuries, the fact that they started 6–3 and finished 8–10?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:35, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Well, I dunno really. Part of my concern was that one of them was injured but the source did not say that it kept him out of the game for the rest of the season. But I'll give the nomination a tick and see if the promoter is happy with it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:04, 9 January 2016 (UTC)


  • ALT3 doesn't make sense as it is about the 2014-15 team, so surely could not have played in the previous record. ALT6 does not have an inline citation validating that they did not appear at the Basketball Tournament in 2015 (unless I missed it). ALT5 seems quite hard to comprehend for someone unfamiliar with basketball. ALT4 is interesting enough and backed up by an inline citation. Jolly Ω Janner 04:49, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
