Hamza Ali

 * ... that Hamza Ali played first-class cricket for Hampshire County Cricket Club and List A cricket for Rawalpindi Rams?


 * ALT1: ... that Hamza Ali played in one first-class cricket match in his career?
 * Reviewed: London 1 South
 * Comment: As Hamza Ali recently died, I think this hook should be left for a few weeks.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. Approving ALT0 which has inline citations for its facts. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:12, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg The ALT0 hook is rather bland. It would help to mention that he died so young:
 * ALT2: ... that Hamza Ali, who played first-class cricket for Hampshire County Cricket Club and List A cricket for Rawalpindi Rams, died at age 20? Yoninah (talk) 07:28, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT2 is fine with me. There's not going to be a super-interesting hook about his life, and ALT2 is more interesting. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:21, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Thank you. Since I added an additional hook fact, could another reviewer sign off on this please? ? Yoninah (talk) 17:55, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT2A: ... that Hamza Ali died at age 20, having already played first-class cricket for Hampshire County Cricket Club and List A cricket for Rawalpindi Rams?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I also thought the hook could be made more interesting but there is a temptation to pass the nomination rather than start suggesting new hooks. ALT2 fulfils DYK criteria, and I have also amended it to ALT2A. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:06, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
