... that Willie Nelson's band, The Family (pictured), was formed in 1973 and the original lineup included his sister Bobbie, Paul English, Mickey Raphael, Jody Payne and Bee Spears?
ALT1 ... that country music singer Willie Nelson formed his own band, The Family (pictured) in 1973, after retiring early from a previous recording contract?

Bolded the title in the hook, so people can realize that it is the newest content. --George Ho (talk) 15:48, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Long enough, new enough, original hook cited, image freely licensed, no issues I can see except title ambiguity and a QPQ review would be nice, although is not a requirement if this is only the nominator's 2nd submission. Content doesn't appear to be an obvious split from Willie Nelson. I've added (pictured) to the hook. Should the article perhaps be moved to The Family (Willie Nelson's band), dependent on the common name? And if not, then the hook should use the name Family, per the article title. I've added ALT1 but am not able to verify it because the relevant book doesn't seem to be available online. -- Trevj (talk) 20:53, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

QPQ not required, as author has not had 5 nominations to his credit. Nobody notified this person on his talk page, so I just did. Maile66 (talk) 18:43, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm ok with:

ALT2 ... that country music singer Willie Nelson formed his own band, Family (pictured) in 1973, after retiring early from a previous recording contract?

They're often publicized as Willie & Family. Willie Nelson has his own article, so it can't be named that way, while they also call it Willie Nelson's Family, but I guess that the title of the article should be Family (Willie Nelson's band).--GDuwenTell me! 19:31, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for not notifying you. That's the name clarified, then. But it'd be clearer to rename your amended hook to ALT2 to avoid ambiguity here. -- Trevj (talk) 19:44, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Done.--GDuwenTell me! 23:52, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

This should be OK now then, AFAICT. -- Trevj (talk) 10:24, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
