Troy Terry
- ... that hockey player Troy Terry was named after former National Football League quarterback Troy Aikman? MIRACLE: THE REMIX "Troy, named after Troy Aikman"
- ALT1:... that Joe Sakic said that Troy Terry could "stick-handle in a phone booth"? Chambers: Troy Terry impressed Joe Sakic with stick-handling in a phone booth
5x expanded by HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:48, 18 April 2021 (UTC).
- The ALT1 should be corrected, as the source says that Sakic didn't tell Terry that directly, but rather told Terry's father that about Terry. I suggest ALT2: "... that Joe Sakic said that Troy Terry could "stick-handle in a phone booth"?" --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:12, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

The article was nominated in the correct time frame and is within policy. The hook facts are verifiable to the cited references and either could be used. However, the expansion is below the 5x threshold. Before expansion began the character count for the prose was 1,390 characters, making the target expansion 6, 950 characters. The article is currently only at 6, 136 characters. If this article is going to be eligible for DYK, the prose count must be expanded further by a minimum of 814 more characters.4meter4 (talk) 20:45, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- 4meter4, I believe I have now expanded it enough. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:45, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Nicely done, and good work on improving this article HickoryOughtShirt?4. This nomination can be promoted. Note to the promoting admin, HickoryOughtShirt?4 altered the Alt1 hook per Metropolitan90's comments (Alt1 and Alt2 are identical as a result). Either the original hook or Alt1 may be promoted. I personally think Alt 1 is more interesting, but either is fine.4meter4 (talk) 21:53, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
