Vic Fontaine

 * ... that Frank Sinatra, Jr. was first offered the part which was later developed into the Rat Pack-style character Vic Fontaine in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine?


 * Reviewed: The Silent Command
 * Comment: For Frank Sinatra day on December 12th.

5x expanded by Miyagawa (talk). Self-nominated at 16:07, 8 November 2015 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. The hook is a little awkwardly worded ("went on to become"), and I think there are far more interesting things to pull from the article, such as that the character is a hologram, or that it sings Frank Sinatra-like songs from the 60s (although a cite would have to be added to connect the songs with parodies of Frank Sinatra), etc. Yoninah (talk) 20:44, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think we could keep it real world specific if we started talking about sentient holograms. I've modified the language in the hook slightly. Miyagawa (talk) 20:47, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Good point. Your tweak to the hook works; I also added "character". Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:55, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
