Created by Antony-22 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:17, 24 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

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: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Antony-22: The article was created today. Its length is fine at 2323 B and so is the length of the hook at 161 characters. All claims in the body of the article have inline citations. I didn't see any unreliable sources or biased claims. The diverse selection of cases in the hook is interesting. It has 4 sources, each one supporting one case. WP:EARWIG shows no problems with copyright violations or plagiarism. QPQ was done. Phlsph7 (talk) 10:25, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Phlsph7: Pulling back from prep. Apparently User:HandsomeFella changed the proposed hook directly without commenting on it, and the review and promotion occurred so quickly that no one noticed. (Generally an ALT should be proposed, or if the change is minor, a comment should be made drawing attention to it.) I also realized that "law" is more clear than "act", so here's a slight revision. Hopefully this can be quickly re-approved. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 00:28, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1: ... that Georgia's racketeering law has been used to prosecute an assisted-suicide group, schoolteachers in a cheating scandal, a fake dentist, and Donald Trump?

Sorry I missed the intermediate edit by HandsomeFella since I did not check the nomination template history. I agree, it would have been better to propose an alternative hook or at least to add a comment explaining the change. ALT1 works fine: approve. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:12, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Phlsph7 and Antony-22: Sorry in advance for bursting in: I just wanted to note that Young Thug and YSL Records were also involved in notable RICO cases! (It should be cited by the CNN article) Oltrepier (talk) 17:26, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oltrepier: I didn't want the hook to be too, too long, and I can't put every example from the article there.. I'm fine with the hook as-is. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 20:00, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
