 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, within policy, hooks are in accordance with policy. Would also offer ALT3:... that a video of police officer Bobby White playing basketball with a group of boys in inner-city neighborhood Gainesville, Florida went viral?
 * Should also consider whether the article subject should be the video as opposed to the subject of the video. Don't know if the police officer independently notable. Plot Spoiler (talk) 18:26, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I am in support of ALT3. About the title, I believe it should be changed, but I have no ideas on what to change it to. If anyone has a plan, let me know. Dictator313 (talk) 21:04, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Why not just "Basketball Cop"? Already bolded in the lead. Plot Spoiler (talk) 21:16, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, that seems like a good idea. Feel free to rename the page. Dictator313 (talk) 21:17, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
