I Am The Beast v. Michigan State Police, et al.[edit]
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Columbia Pictures, Inc. v. Fung
- Comment: Is this short enough?
Created by Bonkers The Clown (talk). Self nominated at 08:59, 2 November 2013 (UTC).
Length and date are ok. But what is the hook? The original hook is just a link to the article, no question is asked to the reader. Also, is the National Lampoon a WP:RS? There are some things that I find bit weird, such as the issue of the subject having been rejected access to a cell phone (in late 1980s). A third point, is it ok in line of WP:BLP to discuss suicide attempts of a non-notable person? --Soman (talk) 00:30, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
- I will address these issues after this article (hopefully) survives the trip at AfD. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:42, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
- I must say I cracked up when I saw the link and then who created it. The hook is almost 400 characters long, so technically it shouldn't be allowed, and either way context needs to be added to the hook to make it a question. Check with a DYK admin, but to be honest if you could add context within 34 characters, I don't see the problem with reviewing another article and taking up two slots.--Launchballer 11:09, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
