Talal al-Sharif

  • ... that after firing an AK-47 in the House of Representatives, Jordanian Representative Talal al-Sharif was expelled as a member?

Created by Crispulop (talk). Self nominated at 11:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC).

  • 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)
  • For a guy elected in January 2013 with under 3,000 votes, & known for only one thing, the focus seems entirely "due". Johnbod (talk) 02:30, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg 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)
