Article is new enough (mainspaced on 28 August) and long enough (2566 characters of prose).
Article is written in NPOV and contains sufficient inline citations to high-quality sources.
Only close matches from Earwig are presented as quotations and correctly cited in the article. [1]
Hook is properly formatted, sufficiently interesting, supported by sources, and of appropriate length.
QPQ is done.

photo[edit]

I'm wondering about the photo. Is that neutral? I almost think we need a source connecting it to this topic. It's got a source that sails right up next to the topic, but I think it could be SYNTH and a POV issue. —valereee (talk) 17:30, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which photo? One was added while I was away (t · c) buidhe 01:10, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The trump photo. --evrik ^(talk) 01:34, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The source clearly discusses the incident in terms of the general connection between religion and authoritarianism. (t · c) buidhe 02:56, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, but its a little over the top, especially for a DYK. In fact, now that you have stripped everything placed in the article to try and broaden the focus - the image seems very POV. --evrik ^(talk) 03:03, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I did not strip any sourced content from the article. WP:V applies to all content in mainspace, including see also sections; adding certain religions without any source does indicate that there is a connection between that religion and authoritarianism and contravenes the need for verifiability. Feel free to remove the Trump image if you don't agree with it. However, the Franco image is more problematic IMO because there is no source for it.

I added a source to the image. There is a long discussion on Franco and the church at Franco with Catholic Church. You did strip the content out ... the See Also section fit in per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#"See_also"_section. You seem to have a vision for this article. Good luck with that. --evrik ^(talk) 04:11, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Evrik, I don't have access to the source you added. What does it cite? That the photograph shows Franco with Catholic dignitaries in 1946? Or that there is some connection between Franco, religion, and authoritarianism? (t · c) buidhe 04:15, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
