Improved to Good Article status by TenPoundHammer (talk). Nominated by Lightburst (talk) at 16:28, 23 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Randy Travis; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- @Lightburst: Personally, I think a hook about James Dupré would be the most interesting. Something like Alt3
...that, after Randy Travis lost most of his singing ability to a stroke in 2013, James Dupré has sung his songs for him in concert?

Here is the source for that hook. Lightburst (talk) 18:16, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Article has reached GA status in the time frame of the nomination. Excellent article that is supported throughout with quality RS. All three hooks are verified to cited sources. Out of respect for TenPoundHammer who put in the work, I agree in using the James Dupré Alt 3 hook. I checked, and www.whiskeyriff.com/ has editorial staff for its writers, so it fine as a source. The picture has the proper license and can be used. This hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 05:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
