Created by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self-nominated at 18:57, 1 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Curtis Aiken; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

@TonyTheTiger: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. I much prefer ALT1 to ALT0 here, though both check out (used newspapers.com on the second one), because ALT0 is less approachable to non-sports readers. Why are there all the (disputed) in text, though? I'd like an explanation before I approve. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:07, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- Disputed means that the numbers continue to be cited in WP:RS but are not shown at nysphsaa.org. There is a whole paragraph in the text devoted to this subject.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:02, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

    - Is there a better way to handle this issue?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:27, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
      - My apologies — I must have missed this ping while busy with other things. Tony's explanation makes sense. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:08, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
        User:Sammi Brie, Hey, I was thinking maybe I should handle all the disputed stuff with notes. Thoughts?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:23, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
        @TonyTheTiger: A footnote on first use of "disputed" would be incredibly helpful to readers. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:26, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
        User:Lightburst, can you unpromote this for a few days, I am travelling and having some flight issues (already delayed 22 hours at BCN). Give me about 72 hours.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:42, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
        User:Lightburst, you can restore this nomination.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:10, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
