Art Rooney Jr.
- ... that Art Rooney Jr. presided over what one Pro Football Hall of Fame selector described as "the best drafting run in NFL history"? Source: Talk of Fame (" (EDITOR'S NOTE: Each week we ask a guest columnist to contribute. Today, it’s former Hall-of-Fame voter Vito Stellino...) [Stellino:] Art Rooney Jr. presided over the best drafting run in NFL history in a six-year span from 1969 to 1974...")
Created by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:03, 17 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Art Rooney Jr.; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is new enough (submitted within 6 days of creation), long enough (4785 characters), well sourced with inline citations, neutral in explaining some family/professional drama. No apparent copyvio; Earwig flags 41.5% similarity with one source, but it turns out to be because the article includes some direct quotes from Art Rooney Jr.'s book. QPQ is done. Hook checks out and is cited within the article and is interesting. (Still confusing about Art Rooney Jr. vs. Art Rooney II; curious if Jr. himself had anything to say about having the same name, etc....but that's not a show stopper for DYK.)

- @Cielquiparle and BeanieFan11: "Over a six year span"? id that needed as a qualifier or does the hook stand alone? Bruxton (talk) 21:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- I wouldn't add "six-year span". It changes the meaning. Cielquiparle (talk) 01:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
