  • ... that in 1987, fans of C.D. Guadalajara attempted to dress the Statue of Minerva (pictured) in the team's shirt? Source: "Un elemento que fue decisivo para que la Minerva comenzara a ser aceptada, lo tuvo el Club Deportivo Guadalajara, pues en el momento de obtener su noveno campeonato (1987), por primera vez sus aficionados se congregaron en la Glorieta para festejar.

['One element that was decisive for Minerva to begin to be accepted was Club Deportivo Guadalajara, because when it won its ninth championship (1987), for the first time its fans gathered at the Glorieta to celebrate. They even tried to dress the sculpture with the team's colors, but a group of riot police prevented them from doing so.']" (El Ciudadano Jalisco)

    • ALT2:... that the Statue of Minerva (pictured) was created because the governor of Jalisco wanted Guadalajara to be recognized as the "Athens of Mexico"? Source: "...recibió la encomienda por parte del gobernador Agustín Yáñez Delgadillo de crear un monumento para la ciudad, ya que buscaba que Guadalajara fuera reconocida como la Atenas de México. ['he was commissioned by Governor Agustín Yáñez Delgadillo to create a monument for the city, as he wanted Guadalajara to be recognized as the Athens of Mexico.']" (Diario NTR)

Source: "Pese a que el ex gobernador le dijo que quería una estatua con las facciones clásicas griegas, Monti subraya que Arias 'venía de una escuela nacionalista muy marcada', por lo que siguió adelante con su idea de no reproducir esa forma estilística ... realizó una Minerva con un rostro mestizo, tirando a indígena" ['Although the former governor told him that he wanted a statue with classical Greek features, Monti stresses that Arias "came from a very strong nationalist school", so he went ahead with his idea of not reproducing this stylistic form ... he made a Minerva with a mestizo face, more like an indigenous-looking face'] (Diario NTR)

Created by Another Believer (talk). 5x expanded by Tbhotch (talk) Nominated by Tbhotch (talk) at 21:15, 11 October 2021 (UTC).

Article is long enough and was expanded 5x with numerous changes made in one day; Spanish language sources checked with Google Translate; no content issues were found. Original hook and all three ALT hooks have good sources, confirmed with Google Translate; all hooks also meet length and format criterion. I think the original hook is the most interesting of the four choices proposed in the nomination. QPQ done. Image is "own work" of Wikipedia editor so there are no copyright restrictions; rollover tag is good.--Orygun (talk) 03:35, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
