 * Article is new enough and long enough. No problem with moving it to the holding area, which I'll do in a moment. Spot check reveals no copyvios. Hook is interesting, long enough and sourced, but I would much rather see something on the the more interesting article fact, suggested an ALT below. QPQ not done yet, so for the moment this is a Symbol question.svg. WormTT(talk) 15:49, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that Australian Olympic wrestler, Vinod Kumar Dahiya was once pushed from a moving train by the father of one of his rivals?
 * I have done the QPQ review now (Dulzura kangaroo rat). Alt1 is also interesting, so either of the hooks is fine with me. Dee  03  12:20, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I've seen better reviews, but QPQ done, this is good to go with ALT1 or main hook Symbol confirmed.svg WormTT(talk) 14:59, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, it looks like Dahiya has failed a doping test and will not be participating at the Olympics. Therefore I suggest we go with ALT1 without the mention of Olympics and take this off the Olympics holding area. What do you think?  Dee  03  22:19, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT1a: ... that Australian wrestler Vinod Kumar Dahiya was once pushed from a moving train by the father of one of his rivals?
 * I agree with Dee03 and am moving this back into the regular nominations queue. Yoninah (talk) 20:30, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
