General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - I'm concerned about the BLP implications of using the phrase "suspected drug lord" when he hasn't been convicted, but BLP isn't my area. Unfortunately, none of the hooks work without it.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: I made a copyedit to ALT2. Catrìona (talk) 23:28, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

  • @Catrìona: Thank you for the thorough review. Yep, those are the difficulties I encounter when writing criminal biographies about living people who haven't been convicted. I think removing "suspected drug lord" reduces the impact of the hook, but I can see how it can probably violate BLP. I've struggled over the years to come up with a solution to this. Let me try this one below. MX () 23:59, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT3 seems good to me, approving. BLP isn't my area, so if someone else feels that "suspected drug lord" is OK, we can go with one of the earlier hooks. Catrìona (talk) 00:18, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
