Ernest Melville DuPorte
Created/expanded by Mindmatrix (talk). Nominated by LlamaAl (talk) at 01:30, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * ... that Canadian entomologist Ernest Melville DuPorte was described as "a father of confederation for entomology" by Robin Stewart?


 * ALT1: ... that Canadian entomologist Ernest Melville DuPorte had taught more than half of Canada's practicing entomologists by his retirement?


 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article is long enough and only a day old. It is properly referenced, including the hooks. The image, however, is copyrighted so I cannot approve this nomination. I would suggest dropping the image and considering possible alternative hooks (though there is nothing wrong with the already propose ones): Surtsicna (talk) 02:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I've removed the image, per request. Mind  matrix  03:02, 27 January 2013 (UTC)


 * ALT2 ... that Ernest Melville DuPorte, "a father of confederation for entomology", was the first Black Canadian to teach at a college?
 * I'm not sure if this is true, but it's not what the source says. The source states Macdonald College, part of McGill University. I'll strike this one, and add a modified version as ALT4. Mind  matrix  03:02, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * ALT3 ... that the Canadian entomologist Ernest Melville DuPorte was registered as a Person of National Historic Significance?
 * ALT4 ... that Ernest Melville DuPorte, "a father of confederation for entomology", was the first Black Canadian to teach at McGill University?
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg It is alright now. My favourite is ALT4, as it is the most hooky and most inclusive one. Surtsicna (talk) 03:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * (ec) I was adding a few more while you were approving this. Do any of the new ones change your opinion? Mind  matrix  03:11, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * ALT5 ... that Ernest Melville DuPorte helped establish the Institute of Parasitology based on his research into agricultural animal parasites?
 * ALT6 ... that many students had to repeat Zoology 220 taught by Ernest Melville DuPorte at McGill University, including some of its future professors?
 * ALT7 ... that former students of entomologist Ernest Melville DuPorte at McGill University paid for a trip across Canada for his retirement?
 * ALT8 ... that Ernest Melville DuPorte, the first Black Canadian to teach at McGill University, was born in Saint Kitts and Nevis?
 * Of the four new ones, I find ALT8 to be the hookiest. It sounds just as hooky as ALT4. If it were up to me, I would pick one of those two. What do you think? Surtsicna (talk) 03:17, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I've struck the original, as alternates cover the same material. I think ALT3 and ALT5 are probably too dull as hooks for the average reader. I think you're right about ALT4 or ALT8 being the top choices. Mind  matrix  14:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I also support ALT4. --LlamaAl (talk) 15:42, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
