Death of Marc Bennett

To T:DYK

Created by Kingsif (talk). Self-nominated at 16:42, 15 December 2022 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Approved. While not listed in the nomination, the source for the first hook that is contained in the body of the article appears to be <https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ex-rugby-player-marc-bennett-was-joking-with-family-on-eve-of-qatar-suicide-xnsxwwzcv>, which mentions Bennett dying and having played rugby for the "Harlequins Under-21s" prior to his death. The source for the second hook that is contained in the body <https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/briton-found-hanged-was-tortured-by-qatar-police-x62fjh6qg> mentions both Bennett quitting his job and Bennett alleging torture after he quit his job but prior to his death. The rule for whether or not a hook is cited requires only that [e]ach fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source (emphasis mine), so the fact that the nominator omitted the sources in making their nom is immaterial to the fact that this looks good to go with either hook. I have a preference for the second hook over the first hook, as I find the second hook more likely to be interesting to a broad audience. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:04, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
