~~... that NYPD officer Brian Moore was shot in Queens, New York on May 2, 2015?~~

I'd like to suggest that the article be further developed at least to the point at which we can have a hook saying something more than that this officer was killed -- which, though sad, isn't all that unusual. Hooks are supposed to be interesting, not alternative ITNs. EEng (talk) 18:35, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

I have proposed an altblurb below that discusses something other than him simply getting shot and killed, based on what was in the article already. I hope this is interesting enough. Everymorning talk 22:14, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that thousands of police officers from around the United States attended the funeral of Brian Moore, an NYPD officer who was shot in May 2015?

Even that's not all that unusual, but it's something at least. I wish you'd told me about this a few days ago, because it would have been a great day to rob a bank somewhere (other than NYC, of course). EEng (talk) 00:38, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:41, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT1 hook is well-referenced. The article is neutral and I failed to detect any close paraphrasing or other copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:52, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Comment We have articles about nine notable Brian Moores, none of whom have, to the best of my knowledge, ever been shot. This fact should be borne in mind if considering featuring an article whose title references a non-notable (BLP1E) Brian Moore. --Dweller (talk) 12:54, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
