Comment: This refers to Futrell's use of a Twitter post to pull himself out of (i.e. dodge) the MLB draft. I mean no disrespect whatsover with this April Fools' nomination. Thank you.
No, the article had not been deleted; it had been moved to draft space. It's now back in main space and I've thus reopened the nomination. Schwede6605:24, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Violates rule D6 due to the dispute tag.
@NotReallySoroka: As clever as this hook is, I'm afraid that the dispute tag needs to be addressed before it can be promoted. Don't worry, you got two months until April Fools! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 02:25, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Would make a good quirky hook. Nice job on getting it back into the mainspace! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 11:20, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
