Chris Murphy gun control filibuster
[edit]- ... that Senator Chris Murphy launched a filibuster in the United States Senate promising to hold the floor "for as long as I can", or until Congress acts on gun control legislation?
Created by E.M.Gregory (talk), Neutrality (talk), and Josve05a (talk). Nominated by Tom29739 (talk) at 21:32, 15 June 2016 (UTC).
Full review needed; AfD was closed as "Keep". Article has since been renamed; I've completed all necessary adjustments to this page. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:29, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Based on QPQ checker, Tom29739 has had no previous nominations, so this does not require a QPQ. Hook is sound, quote is cited right at the top of the article. The rest of the articles is equally as well cited. Copy vio spot checks didn't raise anything. However, one niggling issue - the hook is slightly over the 200 character maximum. Personally I'd just trim "Democrat of Connecticut" from the hook as while it's descriptive in the article, it isn't necessary for the hook once you've said Senator. But I'll leave it up to you to work out what to trim - you'll probably just need to take out a word or two. Miyagawa (talk) 09:35, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
