Bernabe Costas de Miranda

(

... that Bernabé Costas de Miranda played few minutes for Spain's wheelchair basketball team because he injured himself in a training camp less than a month before the 2012 Paralympic Games?

Length, history and reference verified. However, "athlete can't take part in major contest because of injury suffered in training" is really not an interesting hook—it happens all the time (Unless this is unusual in wheelchair basketball? Which I doubt). Could we find something more interesting? Daniel Case (talk) 19:17, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

I have pulled this from the prep area, as the hook is misleading. Stating that he "played few minutes for Spain.." is only true of the 2012 Paralympics: he has plenty lots of minutes for Spain prior to that. The hook needs to clarify this point further. Harrias ^talk 13:01, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Note: the article was moved from Bernabe Costas de Miranda to Bernabé Costas on December 9; assuming this move is correct, the article must be changed to use the accented spelling of his first name. I've updated this template to reflect the move, including the hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:23, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
