Brasheedah Elohim

... that when Brasheedah Elohim (pictured) signed with an Israeli ~~professional~~ women's basketball team in 2007, her unusual surname prompted local media to quip, "God has arrived in Israel"?

New enough, long enough. Within policy with regards to neutrality, citations and copyright. QPQ verified. Hook is certainly interesting but (1) I posted at WT:DYK (here) to clarify the rule about the fact only appearing on the footnote and (2) it's a bit on the long side so I suggest rewording it to be shorter.

@HaEr48: I added the cite that you asked for in the lead. Regarding the hook, shortening it too much will remove all the context. I struck "professional", if that helps. Yoninah (talk) 12:19, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Yoninah. Yeah, it's hard to think of a shorter hook without losing context. Since there is no consensus in the discussion page against the footnote-only hook, I think this nomination is good to go. HaEr48 (talk) 05:08, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
