Russell Crowe's jockstrap

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)

  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg 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)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg I would definitely prefer ALT1 and is cited. New enough, long enough, verifiable sources. Good to go! VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 10:23, 18 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. Maybe John Oliver should be added. ^_^ ) — 🍣 SashiRolls t · c 13:34, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
