Tour DuPont

 * ... that the Tour DuPont, an American cycling race held between 1989 and 1996, was named the Tour de Trump for its first two editions, after its original sponsor Donald Trump?
 * ALT1: ... that the Tour de Trump, an American cycling race first held in 1989, was renamed the Tour DuPont in 1991 after its original sponsor Donald Trump withdrew?
 * ALT2: ... that the 1990 edition of the Tour de Trump, an American cycling race, visited Baltimore after its sponsor Donald Trump agreed to moor the Trump Princess in Baltimore Harbour during the race?

5x expanded by Cordless Larry (talk). Self-nominated at 17:32, 12 April 2016 (UTC).


 * ✅ New enough (expanded 12 April, nominated same day), and 5x expanded (2433 to 12430 characters), and within policy.
 * ✅ Hook is interesting, supported by inline citations, and within policy. I prefer ALT0, although I'd be happy with ALT0 or ALT1. I don't find ALT2 particularly interesting.
 * ✅ QPQ done.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Overall, passes congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:54, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: As this is a DYK hook related to Donald Trump, it should be moved to June 15 holding area. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:54, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I disagree. It only tangentially refers to Trump, and has nothing to do with his campaign. Yoninah (talk) 20:51, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay that's fine, run it now if you want. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:57, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Reopened, this clearly shouldn't run now but wait for the election moratorium to end. "Articles and hooks featuring election candidates up to 30 days before an election in which they are standing should be avoided." Hard to claim that this hook (and article) doesn't feature an election candidate. Fram (talk) 13:27, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg We can keep the tick on this; it's now in a special holding area so it won't be run until after the primaries. ~ RobTalk 15:27, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
