Long enough, technically a day over but I can IAR. ALT0 short enough, cited, and interesting. No neutrality issues found, no maintenance templates found, no copyright concerns found. But I do need to see two QPQs before I can approve this.--Laun chba ller 14:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WatkynBassett: I apologise for saying you needed two QPQs for this. This was nominated on 14 April, and the requirement ended on 12 April. That QPQ is fine. Let's roll.--Laun chba ller 19:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- @Launchballer: You are very fast, thanks a lot! WatkynBassett (talk) 19:08, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So what did he say about homoeroticism exactly and what was the connection between it and the main subject of the essay? You base the DYK hook on this and then don't explain it. This is essentially clickbait.--62.73.69.121 (talk) 12:10, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
