hook interesting and short enough (154), no copyvios, article long enough. L293D (☎ • ✎) 15:24, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

And what if he died "just one month" later? I'm sorry, I don't see what's hooky about this. Yoninah (talk) 01:04, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

This was expanded by a globally locked sock; Edwardx created the article back in 2015 and did a minor expansion to 847 prose characters when Benetton died, after which Frayae stepped in. Under the circumstances, I'm not sure we should be rewarding a sock with a place on the front page. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:03, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

With apologies to Edwardx, who started the article and the various subsections, the major expansion was done by Frayae. I agree that we should not reward a globally banned sock with an article on the main page. Yoninah (talk) 21:08, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
