• Starting review. Updates to follow. Ktin (talk) 06:08, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria -- recently expanded 5x. No concerns with length, tone, or neutrality. Earwig shows no copyvio. No problems with overall sourcing -- sourced to a couple of databases and a couple of obituaries. All good there.

Have two questions re: the hook. I think I understand the gist of it. Hogan was named into the All-Pro team before being drafted into a professional team? Can we try any other hook to make this score higher on the interestingness scale? If there is not much to improve the hook, I will go with the nominator's choice. That said, the hook still needs to be used in the article. I do not see that currently. The article does say that he was first-team All-Pro, but does not state the other parts of the hook.

Handing this back to the nominator. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 06:24, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

• Everything in the hook is in the article. See pro career section: "After going undrafted in the 1949 NFL draft, Hogan signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on February 27, 1949.[5] He started all 12 games for the Steelers during his rookie year in 1949, recording one interception and two fumble recoveries.[1] He was named a first-team All-Pro by the International News Service for the 1949 season." It's in the lead also.

I added some more alts below. Those might be better anyway. Thank you.

• • ALT1: ... that NFL player Darrell Hogan was an Old West aficionado?

• Sources: "Even before his 1985 retirement, Hogan was enamored with the Old West. A line in his obituary reads that he watched Gunsmoke re-runs every day with his dogs Little Bit and Blue." "traveled the western states every summer, hitting Western art and memorabilia shows." "An avid fan of all things western"

• ALT2: ... that NFL player Darrell Hogan watched Gunsmoke everyday?

• Sources: A line in his obituary reads that he watched Gunsmoke re-runs every day with his dogs Little Bit and Blue."

• ALT0 needs to be introduced into the article. Currently it needs to be synthesized from different parts of the article. ALT1 and ALT2 are good and are approved. Minor point -- I would recommend updating the sentence "His obituary stated that ..." to "An obituary in the San Antonio Express News stated that ...". Adding for ALT1 and ALT2. Striking ALT0.
