... that Jimmy Greene (pictured), a jazz saxophonist, whose six year-old daughter was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, is nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Jazz Instrumental Album category?

Not a review I find the hook as stated quite odd. Can I suggest that we do not mention his daughters death? Victuallers (talk) 16:40, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

..or

ALT2: ... that the album that Jimmy Greene (pictured) wrote in tribute to his murdered daughter has been nominated for a Grammy Award?

I like your second hook the best, where many of the sources and reviews specifically cite the daughter death with regards to this album and its contents. I would change "wrote" to "created was".The Cross Bearer (talk) 04:38, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Overall: I prefer the last hook, poignant but tragic. Rather than getting this in DYK before of after, ever thought of getting this nomination moved in the "Special Holding Area" - during Grammy Night (February 15)? I think it would be best to. Donnie Park (talk) 18:35, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Whatever you all want to do with regards to the timing of this articles appearance on the mainpage is others' decision to make. If others' think it best to wait, then by all means let it happen at the most pertinent time.The Cross Bearer (talk) 13:56, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

BlueMoonset I thought it would be safe to ask rather than move the nomination. Donnie Park (talk) 16:15, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Donnie Park, since the nominator is fine with it and the nomination has been approved, please feel free to move it to the special occasion section. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:58, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Good call on the waiting, and thanks for asking.The Cross Bearer (talk) 06:06, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
