Talal al-Sharif edit
- ... that after firing an AK-47 in the House of Representatives, Jordanian Representative Talal al-Sharif was expelled as a member?
- Reviewed: Consulate General of the United States, Hyderabad
- Comment: I'm open to rewriting the hook. Maybe something as the following is better: ... that after pulling an AK-47 during an argument, Jordanian Representative Talal al-Sharif fired it in the House of Representatives and was consequently expelled?

- Nothing wrong with hook, but I have edited to remove BLP issues over his alleged intent, & updated - he was still in jail on 28 October. Johnbod (talk) 15:02, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- I've just seen this rule in the DYK criteria (4a): "Articles and hooks that focus unduly on negative aspects of living individuals or promote one side of an ongoing dispute should be avoided." If someone believes this is too negative I will gladly withdraw this nomination altogether. Crispulop (talk) 22:15, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
Needs full review. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:29, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
New article is long enough (2,761 characters back on October 18). No copyright violations detected. Duplication detector check of main sources [1][2][3][4] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (I've exempted key phrases that cannot be change without altering the meaning). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 126 characters long (160 characters for ALT1); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Ref 4 (verifying both hooks) is a reliable source from The Jordan Times. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:50, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
