Talk:1993 Grand National

Potential GA candidate?
It's come on pretty well this article. I don't really know what the criteria for a GA-standard horse-racing article would be, but I wonder whether it's worth a go at nominating it? Bob talk 21:51, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It has indeed been vastly improved but I'm not sure it will be successful as a GA, the standards for a GA are extremely high, but may be worth nominating anyway, as at the very least we will have some feedback as to how it could be improved. --TBM10 (talk) 21:56, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I was thinking that it might be a good candidate because as a result of the unfortunate end and subsequent enquiry, it has a lot more extra-race interest than most of the other GN races. As a result, there are quite a lot of references and subsequent interviews about the event than it would have had if it has all gone to plan. In GA candidacies, it is almost always the referencing and breadth that let them down, but because this article is a lot narrower in scope than the main Grand National article, but has quite extensive extra-race coverage, I think it may stand a chance (not that I know much about racing, really!).

 * I'm pleased to see the article has been passed as a GA. When I compare the current article to how it was before I first started editing it, it is clearly vastly improved. Well done to everyone who has also contributed! --TBM10 (talk) 18:08, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Aftermath
Good article to read but I have an addition to suggest for under Aftermath if the relevant news story can be found to cite. I recall this race as one of the off-course betters (office syndicate) who got their stake money refunded. I also recall it being in news that one of the starters was exposed by the tv coverage as an alleged 'dole fiddler' and put in trouble with the local DSS because he had not declared he was working that day. (The man may probably be dead now given the age I thought he was then.)Cloptonson (talk) 17:45, 17 May 2022 (UTC){Belated signature)
