Routine Check[edit]
- ... that Robbie Williams was inspired to write Rudebox's hidden track, "Dickhead", after playing The Mitchell Brothers' "Routine Check" to death?

New enough (for 21 May) and long enough. Hook checks out online with citation #7. No problems with disambig links or with external links. No copyvio or close paraphrasing found; all online citations checked as sources. The material from the Evidence Act 1984 reads as a quote and is cited anyway. Issue: There is a neutrality issue with the phrase "towards the racism". This should be changed to "towards the perceived racism." This is because stop and search is a highly controversial issue, and we cannot let our own opinions override diplomacy (even when we are right!). Also, this is not a simple matter, since it has been argued that a policy can't be racist, only people who create the policy and people who interpret it and/or misuse it to abuse the wrong people can be racist, and so on. The rest of the article is written in an objective and neutral manner, and is fully cited. If the word "perceived" can be inserted as explained above, this nom should be good to go. --Storye book (talk) 16:59, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- A single word fix does not require a five and a half line message. I would've simply inserted it and explained the edit here; in any event,

With the long quotes properly blockquoted, this article does not have enough original prose. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:19, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
