Short-Haired Segugio Italiano

• ... that the Segugio Italiano was highly prized during the Italian Renaissance, being used in elaborate hunts with a large number of hunt servants and hunt followers mounted on horseback?

  • ALT1:... that the Segugio Italiano is believed to descend from Ancient Egyptian sighthounds introduced by Phoenician traders, crossed with European scent hounds, likely Celtish bloodhounds, at some point in the 1st millennium BC?

• Reviewed: exempt as first ever nomination, wish to understand the process prior to attempting a review.

• Cute doggy. The image review is usually the last thing I do, but this time I started with it, because it's a cute doggy. The image has a free license that I have no doubts over. Now to the article. The first thing I do there is run DYK check, which in this case says its a fail. However, that's not final. DYK check gets tripped up by larger versions in the edit history that aren't relevant to the expansion at hand. In this case, looking at the diffs shows that the preexpansion version was 744 bytes of prose, and the current version has 4,566, which is more than a 6.1x expansion. The article is above the minimum length. The article appears to be written neutrally, and there is no likely copyvio. There are citations throughout the article, with at least one per paragraph (lead excepted). ALT0 is interesting enough and cited inline. ALT1 is cited inline and is interesting enough, but is over 200 characters, making it too long, and it's a bit of a runon sentence that makes it tough to follow. QPQ exempt as this is your first nomination. Good to go. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:07, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
