Nathan Abshire

  • ... that Cajun accordion musician Nathan Abshire's time in the U.S. Army inspired him to write the crooner song "Service Blues", which was reported as "one of his most memorable tearjerkers"?
    • ALT1:... that musician Nathan Abshire was considered to be an "accomplished musician" at 8 years old due to learning when he learned to play on an accordion that costs him $3.50?

  • Comment: DYKcheck is wrong about this not having been expanded 5x.

5x expanded by SL93 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:40, 1 February 2021 (UTC).

  • @SL93: This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and a QPQ has been done. Earwig brought up a few sentences that you will need to rewrite to remove close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:20, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Cwmhiraeth Dang. That’s what I get for not checking the content that was there before my expansion. I will take care of it SL93 (talk) 18:23, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Cwmhiraeth I took care of it. Done. SL93 (talk) 18:57, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I have rephrased the ALT1 hook to match the source, and either hook could be used. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
