B.League

 * ... that the B.League commences today?


 * Reviewed: The Bangles (EP)
 * Comment: I would like this to be run on September 22, which is the date that the first game of this new league will be played.

5x expanded by Athomeinkobe (talk). Self-nominated at 06:37, 7 June 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Athomeinkobe, DYK only allows special occasion hooks to be proposed six weeks in advance of events, with the exception of April Fools, which can be any time, and Olympics/Paralympics, which happens only every four years and starts up a bit early. September 22 is way too far off, so you'll need to come up with a new hook that doesn't use "today". Sorry for the bad news. BlueMoonset (talk) 12:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, that's a shame. Can I take a couple of months to think of an alternative? Perhaps not... I suppose some other options are:
 * ALT1: ... that Japan's National Basketball League and bj league have merged to create the B.League?
 * ALT2: ... that Japan's B.League will commence this September?

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed now that new hooks are proposed. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:13, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I prefer ALT1, but the hook fact is not cited inline. Both footnotes 5 and 9 only refer to the suspension, not to the actual merger of the teams. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 21:43, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your review. I have added another reference mid-sentence (new #9). AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:51, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 06:20, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
