Minyan Man

[edit]
  • ... that elderly members of Knesseth Israel Congregation of Birmingham, Alabama, were featured in the 1990 music video for "Minyan Man"? Source: "Lenny and Phil went to Birmingham, Alabama where they were warmly received by Rabbi Reuven Tradburks and the Knesseth Israel Congregation. Rabbi Tradburks, who has since made Aliyah and now lives in Jerusalem, arranged for the men to come and be in the video. " (The Jewish Insights)

  • Article 5x expanded between November 26-29. Has not been on Main Page ITN or DYK before. Is long enough, not a stub. Well referenced with in-line citations. Hook fact is in the article and appropriately sourced. Has References section. No dispute templates. No BLP issues. No apparent plagarism. Tone is neutral. Hook is properly formatted. I shortened the hook by omitting, "elderly" and "1990". QPQ done. RoySmith (talk) 01:01, 4 December 2018‎ (UTC)
  • Thank you for the review. I don't understand why you tried to "shorten" it. I don't mind about "elderly", but there were two music videos and readers might remember the 2015 one, so I reinstated the year. Yoninah (talk) 15:51, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
  • OK, so I added back "elderly" too, as I feel it increases the hook interest. The hook is only 132 characters long. When hooks get up to 180, 190 characters, then they need to be shortened. And then you should ask the nominator to do it. Best, Yoninah (talk) 17:32, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
