George Floyd (American football)

- Comment: I hope I don't need to say why this is a terrible, terrible idea. —moonythedwarf 15:52, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Article is eligible, and there are no copyvio concerns. QPQ valid. However the hook as written is entirely unsuitable given the obvious (and presumably intentional?) inflammatory link with George Floyd. I am absolutely certain that you can come up with something better. firefly ( t · c ) 16:06, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- I suggest ALT1: ... that at George Floyd's funeral, a photo montage included images of the still-living former football player George Floyd? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:43, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- I still support the original but short of that ALT1 looks good, except "images" should be "an image" if you look at the funeral... pinging @Firefly:. Therapyisgood (talk) 01:06, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

- @Therapyisgood: I think we should specify that the image was mistakenly displayed - something like "... that at George Floyd's funeral, a photo montage mistakenly included an image of the still-living former football player George Floyd?" firefly ( t · c ) 09:01, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
