 * Comment: This also reeks of advertising quite a bit. Really recommend findig an alternative hook. Juxlos (talk) 09:48, 1 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Putting on hold until either after the deletion review ends, or after the election (whichever comes first). Note that the article is currently a redirect pending the DR outcome. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:16, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg As the subject has won his election bid and the article has been restored, this is ready for a new review. Courtesy ping and . Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:58, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you . It should probably fail again as the hook is clearly incorrect. We are at least lucky that the DRV kept it off the front page before the election, thus denying the oxygen of publicity so desperately wanted, it would seem, in the nom. ——  SerialNumber  54129  14:19, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Looking at the article now, I don't really see much wrong with it: it does appear to be adequately sourced and neutrally written (at least right now). My main issue is the hook proposals itself: as mentioned here, they appear to have a promotional, even campaigning, tone. My suggestion is that a variation of ALT0, perhaps focusing on his military career instead of his campaign, would option here.  In the interest of disclosure, hooks are prohibited from being run 30 days before a subject's election date unless all major candidates are featured as well; as such, the request to be featured before November 6 would have been disallowed.

 * Indeed, my issue was only ever with the spammy hook, not the article. Agree with you that the issue could be resolved with a hook that focusses on something other than his political career. ——  SerialNumber  54129  10:23, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I think the best option here is ALT0 since it's more about his military career and the part about being a candidate is only a descriptor. Do you have any ideas on how to reword it? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:11, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Max Rose won the election. I would reword it as: ... that Max Rose, U.S. Representative of Staten Island and South Brooklyn, is a veteran of the Afghanistan conflict and served as chief of staff at a health care nonprofit which runs clinics around New York City?
 * Thing is, he doesn't actually becomes Representative until January, so that might need to be reworded depending on when this will be promoted. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:56, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * So maybe we could call him "representative-elect"?
 * ALT2: ... that Max Rose, the U.S. Representative-elect of Staten Island and South Brooklyn in New York City, is the recipient of a Bronze Star, a Ranger Tab and a Purple Heart?
 * or ALT3: ... that Max Rose, veteran of the Afghanistan conflict and former chief of staff at a health care nonprofit which runs clinics around New York City, is the U.S. Representative-elect of Staten Island and South Brooklyn?

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed for ALT hooks; it's been three weeks with no previous reviewer return to review the updated hooks. (To avoid confusion, I've renumbered the newly proposed hooks.) BlueMoonset (talk) 05:29, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg - Length, Date, Cites, and Earwigs check. However, a QPQ must be done for this to be approved.  Mifter (talk) 06:32, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Seems there are no more issues here so this is now good to go. Approving both ALT2 and ALT3, rest of the review per Mifter. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:50, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
