Trent Kelly (politician)

 * ... that Trent Kelly, recently elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, defeated a nine-term incumbent to become a district attorney in northeastern Mississippi in 2011?


 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/United Kingdom general election, 2005 (Northern Ireland)
 * Comment: The election is June 2. I think we should avoid running this too close to that date, to avoid the appearance of an endorsement. If we run it after the election, of course, we'll need to tweak the tense of the hook.

 * Struck ALT0 as we cannot possibly run a hook on an upcoming candidate like this. After the election a new hook in past tense will be needed. EEng (talk) 05:18, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know of any policy against it, but as the article is currently in the midst of a notability debate, I'll agree that we should wait until after the election to run this DYK. The debate will be resolved then, one way or another. --Coemgenus (talk) 12:07, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Of course we have a rule against it, for reasons which surely must be obvious. WP:Did_you_know EEng (talk) 22:27, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, that does make sense, I just hadn't read it before. No problem, we can address it after the election next week. --Coemgenus (talk) 22:59, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, with the election over, I've made some changes to the hook. --Coemgenus (talk) 12:30, 3 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:56, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough and the election is long past. The hook facts are reliably sourced, the article is neutral, and I detected no close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:24, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
