Tails Wx (talk · contribs), thank you for rewording the article and proposing the new hook. The source says: "A fourth-generation public safety officer, Davis was born with a badge in hand and police work in his blood. His great-grandfather and grandfather retired high-ranking Washington, D.C., firefighters, and Davis' father is a retired Prince George’s County police officer."

Is serving as firefighters (his great-grandfather and grandfather) and a police officer (his father) considered "emergency management"? Emergency management says, "a science and a system charged with creating the framework within which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters"? Or is a different meaning of emergency management being used here? Cunard (talk) 06:42, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I probably misinterpreted the use of "emergency management" here, so I think "public safety" would be a better use, since firefighters and police officers are part of public safety, no? (ping Cunard)

About the nomination

[edit]

@Tails Wx are you 100% sure this article is long enough to be a Good Article? I do think that this article has enough information but something inside me thinks that it isn't long enough. Please get back to me.

So there technically isn’t a length requirement for GAs, but criteria for GAs include the article to be broad in its coverage and to be well-written. This article seems to fulfill those requirements, although a thorough review would be needed to determine if it passes the criteria. If it isn’t “long enough”, then what else needs to be included?
