Talal al-Sharif

 * ... that after firing an AK-47 in the House of Representatives, Jordanian Representative Talal al-Sharif was expelled as a member?
 * Reviewed: Consulate General of the United States, Hyderabad
 * Comment: I'm open to rewriting the hook. Maybe something as the following is better: ... that after pulling an AK-47 during an argument, Jordanian Representative Talal al-Sharif fired it in the House of Representatives and was consequently expelled?

 * Nothing wrong with hook, but I have edited to remove BLP issues over his alleged intent, & updated - he was still in jail on 28 October. Johnbod (talk) 15:02, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I've just seen this rule in the DYK criteria (4a): "Articles and hooks that focus unduly on negative aspects of living individuals or promote one side of an ongoing dispute should be avoided." If someone believes this is too negative I will gladly withdraw this nomination altogether. Crispulop (talk) 22:15, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * For a guy elected in January 2013 with under 3,000 votes, & known for only one thing, the focus seems entirely "due". Johnbod (talk) 02:30, 9 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Needs full review. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:29, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New article is long enough (2,761 characters back on October 18). No copyright violations detected.  Duplication detector check of main sources  reveal no close paraphrasing issues (I've exempted key phrases that cannot be change without altering the meaning).  Article is well-sourced.  Hook is 126 characters long (160 characters for ALT1); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Ref 4 (verifying both hooks) is a reliable source from The Jordan Times.  QPQ done.  Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:50, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
