New enough - Created on August 1
Long enough - 315 words of prose
Reliable, BLP complaint, neutral, copy-vio free - Everything seems to be cited to reliable sources, Earwig returns a very low 2 percent
Presentable
Verified
- ALT 0
- ALT 1
- ALT2 is a rephrase of ALT1. the wikipedia article doesn't say he was rubbing it. The source doesn't either. I guess what else would you do with it, but I'd approve ALT1 instead
All hooks are well under 200 characters
Interesting - Absolutely. I expect anything with the word "phallic" will be popular, but ALT 0 is good too.
No image present. QPQ done. No other issues. Approve ALT0 and ALT1 EmergentAnarchy (talk) 16:27, 7 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
