Tebow in the 3:16 game

Moved to mainspace by Lightburst (talk). Self-nominated at 19:59, 3 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The 3:16 game; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

I removed that bit from the hook @Harper J. Cole: It was from the hook source Harry Connick who must have got it wrong based on your information and this ESPN source. I think the rest is all cited and the bit about the rushing yards is quoted. I will add a note of correction after Connick's quote. Thanks! Lightburst (talk) 16:29, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Mostly looks good, but a few things that should be worked on: (1) the first hook states that his team's time of possession was 31.6 – however, it was the Steelers who had that possession and it was 31:06 (31.6 isn't how time of possession is written); (2) the second hook states that it was as a result of an NFL game, but the source says that it was because of the college football championship; and (3) I've heard of this game before for being the shortest overtime win in NFL history – that is probably relevant and should be added.

BeanieFan11 Thanks for the review. That is right! I corrected alt0 and it was already correct in the article. I also added the shortest overtime to the article and I will cross off ALT1 because this article is not about the college game. Lightburst (talk) 23:51, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think this is good now.  BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:02, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
The first green tick was a confusion as the message is 'good to go' but then notes that there are still issues, so has been removed. The second approval has been commented out temporarily in place of . Cheers, ——Serial Number 54129 13:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@TonyTheTiger: Thank you for the review! I have no trouble working through the review to satisfy your concerns. I have opted to wait because the article was sent to AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/3:16 game today. Lightburst (talk) 18:03, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I believe that by responding to this review, you will make the article look and feel more encyclopedic, thus improving the likelihood of AFD survival. I would put some work into the article. They are even helping dig up sources for you. By adding a wider variety of WP:RS you also improve its chances of survival. I have had people withdraw opposition in AFDs merely out of response to article improvement. E.g. see Peter Patton (basketball)'s recent AFD.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Slowly adding these things. Just found another weird coincidence. Tebow played the 2009 BCS National Championship Game on the 8th, and this playoff game 3 years later on the 8th. Making it 3 years and 8+8. But I do not think it fits as well as the obvious stats and maybe seems like a reach, just like the Steelers last three regular season games margin of loss and victory is 48 pts - so 3 games with an average of 16. Maybe it starts to feel like OR? Lightburst (talk) 19:40, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
margin of victory (Wiktionary) is a real stat not entirely OR. Total calendar dates (8+8) not a real stat, IMO. I would honestly include both team MOVs. I guess the 2nd one is your call, but I'd present it and leave it to the reader to decide if it is a real coincidence.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
The template you need is {{Americanfootballbox}}, also the stats tables at the bottom like Super Bowl XXX are pretty important for this to be examplary.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@TonyTheTiger: I have been holding back a bit to see the outcome of the AfD. At the same time copyediting and adding relevant details about why this particular game is notable. It looks like it may be kept. I also may not be grasping what information is needed for the box. I wonder if you might consider editing it to your preference?

Well don't wait too long, I am about to be topic banned form WP:GAN, I don't know if it will be for both nominations and reviews. However, you can see clearly what you need at Super_Bowl_XXX#Box_score. You need that template in your article. Super Bowl LVIII also uses the full form, Heidi Game uses an abbreviated form.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@TonyTheTiger: AfD concluded as keep and I added two of the game summary boxes that you recommended. Let me know what you think. Lightburst (talk) 01:12, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
