5x expanded by Cbl62 (talk) and Jweiss11 (talk). Nominated by Cbl62 (talk) at 19:09, 17 December 2021 (UTC).[reply]

New enough and large enough expansion. No QPQ. Super hooky presentation backed up by citation. No other textual issues. @Cbl62 and Jweiss11: Please review another article so this can be passed. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:52, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I like the hook, the word "scratch" isn't actually mentioned in the article. In addition, the hook could be revised since the team he played for was the Frankford Yellow Jackets and not the Philadelphia Eagles, and readers may make false assumptions if they come across the article. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:14, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The word "scratch" is simply being used in its slang sense as synonymous with money and as a humorous contrast with his nickname "Itch". Frankford is a neighborhood in Philadelphia. The Yellow Jackets were Philadelphia's NFL franchise before the Eagles existed. In response to the concern, I changed "for" to "in". Cbl62 (talk) 05:12, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware of that, I just thought that the hook was slightly misleading since most people may not know that Frankford is a neighborhood and in fact people may assume it's a different city altogether (in fact I didn't know so until I checked the team's article).

QPQ completed. Cbl62 (talk) 05:30, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also added an alt1 that eliminates "in Philadelphia" that was a concern raised by User:Narutolovehinata5. Cbl62 (talk) 08:30, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The QPQ has been completed. Narutolovehinata5's issue is probably fair, but for me it is a little less of an issue. I'll leave it to the promoter.

Approved for ALT0 or ALT1. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:21, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
