Dirtbag left
- ... that "if you sleep on a mattress on the floor and fuck in a sleeping bag, then you just might be the dirtbag left"? Source: The New Yorker, Paste
- Reviewed: Ikeda Route
- Comment: Hook is a quote from Will Menaker, co-host of Chapo Trap House and a major figure associated with the dirtbag left.
Converted from a redirect by Morgan695 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC).
New enough, long enough. An excellent article in terms of policy compliance: well-cited, informative, and presenting a range of views on a controversial topic in an evenhanded manner. Earwig only identifies direct quotes. QPQ complete.
- Hook is short enough, cited, provocative, and neutral in that both admirers and critics of the article topic would be likely to find it apt. I suspect I already know the answer, but for the reasons described at WP:NOTCENSORED and the Main Page, I would be remiss if I didn't ask the author to consider offering an alternative hook without an f-bomb. (Prior consensus seems to be to discourage offensive hooks if alternatives are available; see Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know/Archive_105#Proposed_rewording_of_rules.)

- My sense is that more recent discussions on this err on the side of WP:NOTCENSORED; see the DYK nomination for "17 Million Fuck Offs" from last month, which did use "fuck" in the hook. Morgan695 (talk) 21:35, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Not entirely sure that's strong precedent, as "fuck" was in the article title and hard to avoid, but the special searches from that discussion do indicate "fuck"s have been published in DYKs in more permissive contexts.
