Improved to Good Article status by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self-nominated at 14:14, 27 November 2015 (UTC).
This is a newly promoted GA and is long enough and nominated in a timely fashion. The image is appropriately licensed, the hook is sourced inline, the article is neutral and my spot checks brought up no policy concerns. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:33, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
But the source said it tied a school record set in two previous years. Yoninah (talk) 23:58, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- I seem to have missed that. How about ALT1 then? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:29, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that the 2014–15 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team (pictured) tied a school record 5 overtime games?
- Frankly, that doesn't sound so impressive. Perhaps @TonyTheTiger: could suggest another hook? Yoninah (talk) 10:15, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

- ALT2 ... that the 2014–15 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team's season fell apart when Derrick Walton and Caris LeVert (pictured) were injured?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:05, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- The image is appropriately licensed but I don't see an inline citation for the new hook. I see an image caption that states "The team's season derailed when Derrick Walton and Caris LeVert were sidelined for the season in January" and inline citations for the two injuries, but not the whole statement. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:08, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
- Is it sufficient to have citations for the independent facts regarding the injuries, the fact that they started 6–3 and finished 8–10?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:35, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
- Well, I dunno really. Part of my concern was that one of them was injured but the source did not say that it kept him out of the game for the rest of the season. But I'll give the nomination a tick and see if the promoter is happy with it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:04, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

- Do we have an inline citation for the ALT2 claim? Combining the fact that they were injured and then the fact that their season was sub-par and stating that as the cause is original research. Jolly Ω Janner 05:48, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- that the 2014–15 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team's season fell apart because Derrick Walton and Caris LeVert (pictured) were injured? would be OR. There is no OR as to when the events occured.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 09:01, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- I think it could be taken the same way to a casual reader. How do you feel about rephrasing the hook? ...that Derrick Walton and Caris LeVert (pictured) were injured during the disastrous season by the 2014–15 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team? Also, where in the article does it say this season "fell apart" or words to that effect? Regards, Jolly Ω Janner 18:00, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- I don't think disastrous is supported by any sources.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

- ALT3
... that the 2014–15 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team (pictured) have twice played 5 overtime games? - ALT4 ... that the 2014–15 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team coach John Beilein was voted 2014 Big Ten Coach of the Year by the Big Ten media?
- ALT5
... that the 2014–15 season for the Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team (pictured) marked the first it had at least three draft picks since the 1990 NBA draft? - ALT6
... that the 2014–15 season for the Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team (pictured) ended a streak of four consecutive NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament appearances?
- ALT3 doesn't make sense as it is about the 2014-15 team, so surely could not have played in the previous record. ALT6 does not have an inline citation validating that they did not appear at the Basketball Tournament in 2015 (unless I missed it). ALT5 seems quite hard to comprehend for someone unfamiliar with basketball. ALT4 is interesting enough and backed up by an inline citation. Jolly Ω Janner 04:49, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
