Dennis Tinnon
- ... that former Basketball Bundesliga player Dennis Tinnon worked at a slaughterhouse before he was recruited to play college basketball? "This was the sort of job someone who'd done time in jail, was still chasing a high school diploma and needed to start saving money for the birth of his daughter, could get in Packerland: at an outfit called American Foods, staring down an endless procession of doomed cattle."

Etzedek24 There are a number of areas of the article that need sourcing, in particular that he played in the Basketball Bundesliga for three years- this definitely needs to be cited as it's part of the proposed hook (and none of the sources I can access mention his time in this league). I have added some citation needed tags, please could you add sources? I will conduct a full review once the sourcing is improved. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:33, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Joseph2302: I just forgot to put in the BBL source. The proper Eurobasket profile is paywalled but I do not have any reason to think Proballers would be unreliable. In the other places I have reused cites where applicable. Please let me know if there's anything else I can correct. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 21:19, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Etzedek24 Just the two sentences in the "Early life" section starting "During Tinnon's senior season" that need an inline source now. Apart from that, sourcing looks okay. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:04, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Article is long enough (5458 characters), new enough (created 30 May, nominated 4 June), article is within policy, including being adequately sourced now- Hooks are both interesting, in the article, well cited, and short enough
- QPQ done
Overall, this is now good to go. Thanks for improving the sourcing. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:15, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
