Date, length and QPQ all fine. I've duplicated an inline citation to meet the DYK rules. I think technically his company Recon Group bought Aston Villa but I don't believe wording it as Xia doing the buying is controversial, misleadingly or incorrect. GTG - Basement12 (T.C) 15:26, 24 May 2016 (UTC)- I'd really like to see it on DYK, but we may have to hold off as he hasn't officially bought the club yet as it requires approval from the Premier League and the Football League first. Another interesting fact about him is that he went to university aged just 14. Could that possibly be used instead? LegereScire (talk) 16:26, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- Seems that you're right LegereScire, despite what a lot of the sources say he hasn't yet completed the deal as the Football League need to approve it. As that might take a while yet I suggest going instead with
- ALT1... that businessman Xia Jiantong went to university at the age of 14?
- so new reviewer needed for the ALT - Basement12 (T.C) 08:45, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- Relying on the previous review for date/length/QPQ/other things specifically listed. No copyvios/close paraphrasing found. Neutral. ALT1 hook is interesting, short enough, and verified. I added "businessman" to the hook as a slight copyedit, since readers wouldn't otherwise have any clue who he is. ~ RobTalk 14:53, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
