Russell Crowe's jockstrap
- ... that someone actually paid $7,000 to possess Russell Crowe's jockstrap?
- ALT1:... that not even Russell Crowe's jockstrap could save Alaska's last Blockbuster Video store?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/A Scary Time
- Comment: Currently at AFD but looking like an easy keep so far. Nevertheless, I'll wait with QPQ until the AFD is over.
Created by Anna Frodesiak (talk) and SoWhy (talk). Nominated by SoWhy (talk) at 20:28, 25 November 2018 (UTC).
- I believe the AfD closer suggested on the TP that the article be moved to another name while it still isn't clear who actually owns the thing. I suppose that should delay the promotion, no? A snarky suggestion would be to add "and got publicity for their show on the Wikipedia front page for free". I'm sure that's not the intention, mind you. Maybe:
- ALT2: John Oliver got his name on a koala chlamydia ward in Australia by buying a jockstrap? — 🍣 SashiRolls t · c 13:20, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
- A pending rename does not make a DYK nom ineligible. The link can always be repaired later. As for alternatives, I'd prefer: ALT3: ... that the money from the sale of Russell Crowe's jockstrap allowed the Australia Zoo to establish a koala chlamydia ward?
- I'll get on the QPQ asap. Regards SoWhy 14:07, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Full review needed now that a number of hooks have been suggested and the QPQ has been provided. As the first person to comment has also suggested a hook, another period needs to be found to do the actual review. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:50, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
- I prefer SoWhy's ALT3 suggestion which, like ALT2, is cited in the article (cf. reference #7). It's true the red-links to Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital and koala chlamydia would be unfortunate. (There is a section in the Koala entry that could be linked.) Nevertheless, this is a Thelemite utopian space of good cheer, so please... do what you want. This comment is due to the concern expressed by AF for the koalas in the deletion / merge discussion. This impressed me, as I'd assumed it was just a people-type entry.
- Curious: in one paragraph of the Koala entry, the following VIPs are mentioned: Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry, Crown Prince Naruhito, Crown Princess Masako, Pope John Paul II, US President Bill Clinton, Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev, South African President Nelson Mandela,[128] Prime Minister Tony Abbott, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and of course Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester.
