Created by Soulbust (talk). Self-nominated at 22:34, 16 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Sleep in the NBA; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

@Narutolovehinata5: Sorry, for some reason it slipped my mind that I had the QPQ pending still. It's done now though, thanks for the reminder. Soulbust (talk) 18:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC) Soulbust (talk) 18:37, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Oops sorry, forgot about this. QPQ checks out, all hooks good but prefer ALT0 or ALT3. DigitalIceAge (talk) 07:27, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

  @Narutolovehinata5 and Soulbust: I have finished paraphrasing any quotations by journalists or other non-NBA members in the article; see these changes here. As I am now a major contributor to the article for the purposes of DYK, this will need a new reviewer. DigitalIceAge (talk) 17:24, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Since this nomination has been delayed a bit, it is conveniently closer to the start of the 2023 NBA Finals. Maybe if we can wrap up this nom, we can get the hook to run on a day in which one of the games will be played. June 1, 4, 7, and 9 are the dates which are scheduled for the first 4 games of the series. Soulbust (talk) 11:11, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
  •   I have read through the article, and the comments above. I am expressly approving Alt2. That said, the other hooks may be fine as well. I do think that the hook is a little weak. Seeing that the finals are about to start, if this was rushed to the front page, a good image might serve the mission of DYK.
  • Alt4 ... that to deal with sleep deprivation, NBA players commonly take mid-day and pregame naps?

@Evrik, Soulbust, DigitalIceAge, Narutolovehinata5, and RoySmith: I will promote ALT2 for June 9 prep 6 for when a game is scheduled, however I will not promote the image. The King LeBron James is no longer in the playoffs and his team was swept. So the image would be a puzzling image for the NBA finals. If you can find a relevant image with one of the Miami Heat or Denver Nuggets we can discuss moving to image slot. Bruxton (talk) 15:04, 31 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
