Le Groupement (cycling team)
[edit]- ... that the Le Groupement cycling team folded in mid-1995 amidst accusations that their sponsoring company ran a pyramid scheme? Source: "Other controversy surrounded the team because of their sponsors. The group behind the main sponsor was the European Association of Marketing Professionals which was said to have been nothing but a pyramid scheme." (Source)
- Comment: Unfortunately, no image for this one...

| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- "The Bike Comes First" seems like a niche blog and should be replaced with a more reliable source. - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - I raised my concern about the source above, and can't see any easy replacements from a quick web search.
- Interesting:
- Other problems: - I don't think it's necessary to add the date of disbanding to the hook, since it can have a nicer "punch" if shortened.
QPQ: 
- As you have 8 previous DYK credits, you need to complete a QPQ.
Overall: 
Interesting article, and I have taken the liberty of moving it to a title without disambiguation (as there is no conflicting use of that name). SounderBruce 04:22, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: The nominator hasn't edited the article since your review, apart from adding a short description template to the article. They also appear not to have addressed the concerns or done a QPQ. I'm willing to donate a QPQ to resolve that issue, but then the problem would be on sourcing. I had left the nominator a message but without a response. Considering the circumstances, what can be done here? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:11, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: Sorry, I overlooked your message, it got swamped by the Signpost on my talk page... It's true that I have not yet found the time to resolve the issue, even though it's not that hard, I would just need to use the Millar biography even more. All I have to do is find the respective page numbers, which I could do tomorrow, if that is OK. Thank you for stepping in and reminding me that this was still ongoing, I had almost forgot...
