Allan Graf

[edit]
  • ... that Hollywood stunt coordinator and second unit director Allan Graf played offensive guard for the undefeated NCAA national champion USC Trojans football team in 1972?

  • Article is new enough and long enough at the time of nomination. This appears to be first DYK nomination so no QPQ required. No images requiring copyright check. Article appears neutral enough. Article is fully sourced by inline citations. Plagiarism spotcheck [1] [2] no cause for concerns.
  • Wikipedia:IMDB#IMDb says IMDB is not a reliable source. This relates to hooked fact and cannot be easily removed. Alternative source?
  • Appreciate your swift and thorough review. In the version you reviewed ([3]), IMDB was used to cite three facts, none of which relate to hook: 1) a brief list of movies in which he's performed [cite#6], 2) the Taurus award nomination [cite#8], 3) his current project [cite#11]. Hook is fully cited by Travers (and online version of the chapter appears at Travers' blog [4]) and Susan King's LATimes article [5]. To demonstrate, I've deleted all statements cited by IMDB in this version: [6]. Thanks again. BusterD (talk) 14:17, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Offline sources support text and were not plagiarised. --LauraHale (talk) 06:04, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Alternative for IMDB citation found and we can go. --LauraHale (talk) 06:04, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Hooked fact did relate to IMDB at time because it went to his job. In any case, article fully sourced to sources I consider more reliable and the text and sources support hooked fact. Good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 20:13, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
