5x expanded by Epeefleche (talk). Self-nominated at 08:05, 13 June 2015 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg Article satisfies the recency and length requirements with 5x expansion June 10-14. Hook is short enough and interesting enough.  Hook is neutral and also supported by in-line citations to reliable sources. No evident problems with neutrality and in-line citations. However, spot-checking doesn't raise concern about close paraphrasing.  For example, the LSU biography states: "Parents are Sam and Jackie Bregman, both of whom are attorneys ... has a younger sister, Jessica, and a younger brother, Anthony."  The nominated article states: "His parents are Sam and Jackie Bregman (both of whom are attorneys), and he has a younger sister, Jessica, and a younger brother, Anthony ." Also, the LSU bio states: "hit .678 as a high school junior in 2011 and set a New Mexico season record with 19 HRs." Article states: " hit .678 as a high school junior in 2011, and set a New Mexico season record with 19 home runs ."  Nominator should take another pass through the article to modify instances of close paraphrasing.  QPQ looks ok but Epeefleche hasn't replied to the nominator's alt hook.

 * Cbl62 -- Hi. First comment -- as to the QPQ, you wrote that I have not responded to nom's alt hook. I did respond with further questions, a number of hours prior to your saying I had not done so.  Please take another look. As to the other point, I took another pass through the article, and sought to address your concerns both in those sentences and elsewhere.  I would point out that the sentences you pointed to were heavy with immutables ... parents/Sam/Jackie/Bregman/younger sister/Jessica/younger brother/Anthony/.678/high school/junior/2011/New Mexico/19. The non-immutables can of course be worked with, and I've sought to address them, but all of those phrases would logically be in both (though at the end of the day I broke parents into mother and father).  See also in this regard WP:LIMITED. Tx. --Epeefleche (talk) 14:05, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg The QPQ issue is resolved, and the nominator has made some tweaks on the unduly close paraphrasing. If someone with more experience in assessing "close paraphrasing" issues could take a second look at that narrow issue, I would greatly appreciate it having that done before I give this the green tick.

 * There is now an image at File:Alex Bregman at Baum Stadium.jpg. I'm not certain whether it is of sufficiently high resolution for the main page -- I submit it for consideration, but leave it to the promoter to decide. Tx. Epeefleche (talk) 04:09, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg As noted above, I have reviewed this hook and it looks ok to me after changes made by nominator.  However, given the close paraphrasing issues originally detected in the article (as well as historical issues discussed at Contributor copyright investigations/Epeefleche), I would appreciate it if someone with more experience in assessing that issue would take a second look at that narrow issue.

 * I did some spotchecking and don't see anything too concerning with regards to paraphrasing. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:51, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you, Nikkimaria. This is now good to go. Cbl62 (talk) 13:34, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
