 * * ... that Walter "Tiger" Mayberry, a running back inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a "Gator Great", died in a Japanese POW camp on the island of New Britain, Papau New Guinea?

 * The article is new enough and long enough. The article is within policy. Symbol question.svg The hook is cited and interesting, but too long with 202 characters.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 17:34, 31 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I could put "Halfback" if we are strict about the 200 characters. I figured "running back" is a bit more accessible to the layman. Cake (talk) 19:02, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I forgot that it is not always necessary to be strict with this 200 rule. The hook is quite readable although it is two characters longer than 200 so there is no need to be strict. Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 07:52, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
