ALT1: ... that Minneapolis City Councilmember-elect Abdi Warsame is one of the first Somali Americans to be elected to a U.S. municipal office?

Article is new enough and long enough and the hook is suitably sourced. The article has experienced some vandalism but the paragraph concerned is well supported by its citation. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:18, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't see any mention of him in the article as being first to be elected to a "U.S. municipal office", just to the Minneapolis City Council. In fact, the article says he holds the position, but it also says he's a member-elect: if he hasn't been sworn in yet, then he doesn't hold any position on the council. (He doesn't take office until January 2014.) FN1 may mention the first in the U.S. bit, but that hook fact is not in the article, and it must be for the hook to pass muster.

City councils are municipal offices by definition. I modified the language that indicated he already held the position. Middayexpress removed the hook fact language because Ahmed M. Hassan was elected to a municipal office on the same day. I've added language that explains that they were simultaneously elected. I've also struck the original hook and added an ALT.

New ALT1 hook needs review, and previous issues need to be checked. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:04, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

ALT1 is backed up by the sources in the article and the article as a whole is cited. Length, date, NPOV, and QPQ are also good. Thingg^⊕^⊗ 00:24, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
