5x expanded by Innisfree987 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:22, 10 March 2018 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg - Expansion was started on 8 March, and by far exceeds the threshold. This is a pretty massive expansion, having only been the length of two three prose sentences before Innisfree987's contributions, and I commend them on their work! The article is well cited, and is fairly neutral, with good uses of quotations from citations. I don't see any obvious issues with the way the article is formatted, and the nominator's QPQ is satisfactory. The one thing I would change, however, is the hook. It's no doubt an interesting hook, marking the first woman to head a franchise in a major North American sporting league, though it can be slightly shortened and worded better. My suggestion is below. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · [//xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/?username=PhilipTerryGraham&project=en.wikipedia.org count]) 12:46, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that Susan O'Malley was the first female president of a National Basketball Association franchise?
 * Thanks for the review and the kind words,, as well as the tightened hook--that phrasing looks good to me! Innisfree987 (talk) 17:17, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg – hook has been updated, and now I'm good to give this nomination the green light! – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · [//xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/?username=PhilipTerryGraham&project=en.wikipedia.org count]) 17:26, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
