Spike Albrecht

 * ... that Spike Albrecht (pictured) led his team to victory over future teammate Mitch McGary in the 2012 New England Preparatory School Athletic Council Class AAA Boys' Basketball Tournament?
 * 5x expanded by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self nominated at 03:24, 28 January 2014 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Reviewed against the criteria:
 * long enough - 2591 characters (417 words) "readable prose size"
 * →3564 characters more than meets the requirement.
 * prose only expanded fourfold since expansion began, 652 characters to 2591, but it is a BLP and is now far better sourced
 * Within policy - neutral, cites sources with inline citations, at least one per paragraph, free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism
 * Hook is interesting, neutral, 170 characters, and formatted properly, but:
 * → it does not have an inline citation in the article.
 * → both ALTs are interesting and have excellent citations but I think I'd have to go for ALT1, simply because it is 200 characters and ALT2 is 247.
 * QPQ – waiting for nominator to review another nominee.
 * The infobox image could be used because it is free and shows up well:


 * Grrreat article, just needs a citation for the hook, a QPQ review, and maybe a bit more prose, although I'm willing to accept it as it stands. Green Giant (talk) 04:28, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hehe, I like your "Grrreat" comment, especially directed from one commercial icon to another. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  00:34, 31 January 2014 (UTC)


 * (ALT1) ... that the 17-point April 2013 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament championship game first half performance by Spike Albrecht (pictured in game) was featured in The New York Times 2013 Year in review? --TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:55, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * (ALT2) ... that an NBC Sports jounalist described the 17-point April 2013 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament championship game first half performance by Spike Albrecht (pictured in game) as "arguably the most memorable half of basketball you'll ever see"? --TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:16, 30 January 2014‎ (UTC)


 * I have gone to a more enticing hook (I believe) and expanded the text.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:58, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. All set, just needs your review. Green Giant (talk) 07:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
