No, it didn't. One study found that in The Newcastle Herald only, not "in newspapers" in general. See note 894 in [1]: "Coverage of Women's Sport in the Newcastle Herald, 1890-1990". Fram (talk) 11:12, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
ALT1 ... that coverage of women's sport in New South Wales in Newcastle Herald grew from 3.2% in 1890 of all sports coverage to 15.7% in 1990?
Alt proposed. --LauraHale (talk) 11:16, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, the source discusses coverage of women's sport in one New South Wales' daily, not coverage of "women's sport in New South Wales" only but presumably also coverage of women's sport outside of New South Wales. Fram (talk) 11:43, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
ALT2 ... that in 1984 the Premier of New South Wales decided to ban a bout between two women kickboxers citing clause 27.1 in the Theater and Public Halls Act 1908 relating to preservation of good manners and decorum?
- better sourced, more interesting but the article title link tenious Gnangarra 00:41, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
If ALT2 is to be used, it has to be cut a little: properly formatted and spelled, it's 207 characters, above the maximum length for a hook. This nomination needs a valid hook in order to proceed.

- ALT3 ... that in 1984 the Premier of New South Wales decided to ban a bout between two women kickboxers citing the Theater and Public Halls Act 1908 relating to preservation of good manners and decorum?
Needs a full review of the article and the remaining ALT hook; previous hooks have been struck due to the various problems cited. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:25, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
Date, length and hook all OK. Alt3 Good to go. Might I also suggest wikilinking Premier of NSW. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 15:49, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
