 * ... that Tyus Battle gave USA Basketball the lead for good in the gold medal game of the 2014 FIBA Under-17 World Championship?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New (article created with a week of this nomination), long enough (at 3837 characters), and within policy (no close paraphrasing detected). The hook checks out, and the QPQ is valid. 23W 00:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg I'm afraid I've had to pull this from prep as I don't understand the hook - what does "gave USA Basketball the lead for good" mean? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:25, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It means gave the team a lead which they managed to retain until the end of the game. I also considered this term before promoting the hook. The fact is stated in the article and in the source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:27, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The source has several other facts that could give us a more interesting hook. How about
 * ALT1 : ... that Tyus Battle scored a deciding goal in the 2014 FIBA Under-17 World Championship three seconds before the first period ended? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:38, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * That is sort of the same fact. I have no problem with the suggestion.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)


 * 23W, can you please check ALT1, and give it a tick if it meets with your approval? Many thanks. I've struck the original hook due to Ritchie333's objections. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:02, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Whoops, didn't get the ping. Reads more accessibly, and is still cited. 23W 06:49, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
