The article is long enough (expanded enough) and new enough with no copyright violations. A QPQ has been completed. However, I don't see "gridiron football executive" in the article. I'm also not sure what the 10th reference is sourcing because I can see it in the Google Books reference (11th reference) on page 37. SL93 (talk) 23:17, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

You can ignore the gridiron football bit. I figured it out. SL93 (talk) 23:20, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

@SL93: my apologies for the initial confusion. I used the term to encompass both the Canadian and American versions of the sport. I've now removed ref 10 (it was in the article before I expanded it, and is now a deadlink of this). —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:28, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. Either hook can be promoted. SL93 (talk) 23:32, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
