Created by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self-nominated at 05:45, 10 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Sean Jackson (basketball); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

This is a peculiar date request. I was initially going to request this run on the date that Princeton's postseason game is to occur. However, it is looking like Princeton will not appear in either the 2024 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament or 2024 National Invitation Tournament. As a result, I will tentatively request March 16 to coincide with the 2024 Ivy League men's basketball tournament. But I would like to reserve the right to reevaluate the prospect following the games of March 2nd to say whether I would like to change to betting on a later date.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:54, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
  • I don't know how the tiebreaker works so I am not sure which team has the NIT backup, but I am betting on Princeton playing in either the NCAA or NIT. This date request will be for whichever date that turns out to be.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:01, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Technically the article is not quite "new enough", as the nomination was submitted 8 days after creation, but we'll allow it. Long enough (8645 characters). Article is well sourced and is written neutrally (although in several places it reads like a long list of stats). The facts in the hook are explained with citations in the article. @TonyTheTiger:Two issues which I would like to see resolved before passing this nomination: 1) Could you make it more explicit within the "High school career" section, where you are talking about basketball specifically versus baseball? (As visual cues to any readers fact-checking the hook.) 2) Could you complete one additional QPQ, in light of the current emergency backlog situation? Cielquiparle (talk) 05:28, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Is that 8 days from the creation date or the move to main space date?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:00, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Sorry I didn't see that it was moved into mainspace one day later. (The DYK tool sometimes picks up the "move date" and sometimes doesn't, it seems.) For future it would be helpful if you could just add a note in the "Comment". Cielquiparle (talk) 07:39, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
