  • First, it's not that interesting since many vegan athletes will make similar claims. Second, it's better if the hook doesn't seem to be promoting something (in this case veganism). (t · c) buidhe 10:28, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Seeing a comment was made on 3 November but not a full review, I will conduct a full review (though I agree with Template:U's comments about the hook)
  • checkY Article is long enough (7259 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (became GA on 1 November, nominated on 2 November), and article is within policy
  • ☒N As highlighted above, a hook that a vegan thinks veganism has helped them is uninteresting, as it's very common for vegans to post support for veganism. Please can you provide a more interesting hook?
  • checkY QPQ done
  • Symbol question.svg Template:U Overall, the article is good (no pun intended!), but the hook is not. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:27, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
I have to say that there aren't many vegan footballers. How about we just change the hook to state that he became vegan and not mention the fitness quote?EchetusXe 13:31, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
There are quite a few famous vegan footballers ([1], [2], [3]), and I just don't see how someone being vegan is that interesting of a hook. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:07, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Okay I'll have to reach a bit for something interesting with this otherwise rather ordinary footballer. But reading again through the article this angle stood out for me:
