Jack Sumner
- ... that Grand Canyon explorer Jack Sumner castrated himself?
Sources: (1) "Alone and despondent that evening, Sumner pulled out his knife, which he had honed to razor sharpness, then dropped his pants and calmly castrated himself." [1] (2) "All we know for sure is that Jack Sumner, standing there quite alone, took out his knife, and took down his pants, and castrated himself." [2]

New enough?
Was created 12 July and nominated 17 July. Long enough?
Yes. Within policy?
Seems to be. Hook short enough?
Yes. Hook content meets requirements?
I think it does, as best as I can tell. I do have the concern that some might find castration too objectionable for a "Did you know?" entry, but that is not one of the criteria for determining the suitability of the hook and we have WP:UNCENSORED. It does focus on a negative aspect of his life, but the criterion about undue negative fixation specifies that it only applies to living persons. Sumner has been dead for over 110 years, so I do not believe I can object to the hook on those grounds. Quid pro quo fulfilled?
Yes. --Katolophyromai (talk) 16:36, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
