First reviewer of draft version[edit]

The first reviewer's claim that "Four of the five footnotes are directly-affiliated primary sources that are not support for notability at all" is incorrect. Two of them, the Golf Canada and PGA Tour references, are not directly affiliated and are not primary sources. However they do have indirect affiliations with the club in as much as they are in the same industry. Regardless of the error, three additional sources have been added to the article, and I have re-submitted the draft for review. PK T(alk) 18:34, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've now added a number of others RS refs, and believe it easily satisfies GNG. User:Tewapack, I know you are a great contributor to golf articles, so I thought I would let you know that this draft exists. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:A021:E672:4A82:4474 (talk) 07:34, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Nominating on behalf of IP, who will do the QPQ

1. I think this is actually a new article rather than 5x expanded. 2. I prefer ALT1. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:BC80:53D7:4ECB:EF00 (talk) 18:34, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Longhornsg (talk). Self-nominated at 22:24, 5 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Oakdale Golf & Country Club; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough in mainspace and long enough. QPQ supplied by IP. I'd like to see a non-primary source for ALT0, which is the weaker of the two hooks, so I'll definitely weight in favor of ALT1. ALT1's hook source is actually a republication of the same article in The Times of Israel, which I replaced the Bharat Times link with in the source; I would be fine with that.
