Graham Chapman

  • ... that Graham Chapman gave up a career as a doctor to pursue one in comedy?

Improved to Good Article status by Ritchie333 (talk). Nominated by Casliber (talk) at 21:01, 14 June 2015 (UTC).

  • Right, right, stop that, stop that ... this started off as a perfectly good DYK nomination, but it's not silly enough. So, how about....
  • I'm sorry, but I don't care if the source is the Queen of England -- ALT1 defies common sense. There are lots of great potential hooks here, so let's all contribute our favorites, then vote.
ALT4 ... that Terry Jones called Graham ChapmanTemplate:`s death, just before the 20th anniversary of the television debut of Monty Python's Flying Circus, "the worst case of party-pooping in all history"?
(Not necessarily my favorite, but a start after a quick look over the article. Great work, Ritchie! Also, I think an image would be a good idea. ) EEng (talk) 06:04, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Hey, isn't this still Wiki LGBTXYZ month? If so we should really try to use the gay angle in the hook. EEng (talk) 23:35, 16 June 2015 (UTC) Not that there's anything wrong with that.
  • ALT5 ... that Graham Chapman did not mind when he was filmed fully nude in front of a crowd, but the female Muslim extras did? EEng (talk) 05:52, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
  • ALT6 ... that
  • ALT7 ... that
  • ALT8 ... that
  • ALT9 ... that

Symbol voting keep.svg Passing, with AGF to book sources for main hook, and ALTs 2-5. The article has indeed been promoted to GA status (on 13 June). Mjroots (talk) 15:14, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
