He wanted to try out the sport, so he lied and said that he did play, although he said that the first day in practice, the coach "immediately knew I hadn't."
- What's your suggestion?
  - BeanieFan11 Haha sorry. Just a suggestion to split the sentence into two. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:20, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

... that Stan Mataele lied about having experience playing football so he could be on his college's team, and when found out, made the squad anyway and was all-state? Source: Arizona Republic

- Comment: Note that I might not have much time to do QPQs until around November 3/4, hopefully that's alright.

Improved to Good Article status by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:07, 25 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Stan Mataele; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Recent expansion and promotion, no plagiarism, properly written. Hook interesting and verified on good sources. I am entirely incompetent when it comes to gridiron topics, but I do have a minor concern about whether Pro-Football-Reference.com (not used for the hook) is a WP:RS. QPQ also needs addressing.

  - @Dahn: QPQ added; also, note that Pro-Football-Reference.com has long been considered one of the most reliable references (pun intended) for football statistics and is used on over 30,000 articles. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:58, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Alright then, and yes, it appears that the reference I was inquiring about has a reliable publisher (which, unlike it being used in so many articles so far, actually qualifies it under WP:RS). Dahn (talk) 10:13, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
