History of East Texas State University

  • ... that East Texas State University was, in part, saved from closure by 450 supporters making a July 1986 bus trip to the Texas State Capitol in Austin? Source: In response, Austin assembled a special committee (led by Keith McFarland) to document the school's strengths in a white paper, sent 50,000 letters to alumni asking for their support, and organized a July 1986 bus trip to Austin that took 450 supporters of the university to the State Capitol in a show of support that ultimately ensured that ETSU would not be closed.[1]

  • Symbol confirmed.svg The article is new enough as it was moved to mainspace. Also large enough by a long way. All sections are referenced.
  • Comparison with History_of_East_Texas_State_College only shows a very small overlap, so enough of this article is original. Also copyvio check reveals no significant copying. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:29, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

  • At 150 characters the alt0 hooks is short enough, in the article, cited, and AGF that the text is from the book, then the hook is confirmed. ALT1 is also in the article and cited. Hopefully the small text above is not from the book, as it is exactly what the article says. I will leave ALT2 alone as it has an opinion "Notable" that will be too hard to confirm. So good to go with main or ALT1 hook. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:55, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
