Simping
- ... that in 1923, the New York Times published a letter decrying the cowardice of simps? Source: "CALLS BACHELORS "SIMPS."; "Afraid to Take a Chance," Says Woman Referring to Club". The New York Times. 14 May 1923. Retrieved 23 December 2020.
- ALT1:... that Archie Andrews has been described as "the simpiest of the simps"? Source:Paul, Andrew (21 July 2020). "Call Archie a "simp" at your own peril, warns Archie Comics". The A.V. Club. Retrieved 16 December 2020.
- ALT2: ... that in 1923, the New York Times published a letter decrying simps for being "afraid to take a chance"? Source: "CALLS BACHELORS "SIMPS."; "Afraid to Take a Chance," Says Woman Referring to Club". The New York Times. 14 May 1923. Retrieved 23 December 2020.

Created by JPxG (talk). Self-nominated at 12:21, 23 December 2020 (UTC).
- Review follows:
- New? Yes. Nominated 23 December; created 17 December.
- Long enough? Yes. 7,000+ characters.
- Enough cites? Yes. Passes the 1+ cite per graf test.
- Hook cited? Possibly. Main hook appears as a blockquote in the article, but I don't quite see Template:Tq described in the source. Maybe "criticizing simps", although that's less punchy. Alt1 is fully cited, and only slightly less punchy.
- Hooks short enough? Yes.
- Copyright? Fine. Earwig initially looked chancy but it's just quotes.
- QPQ: Done.
- Other? I don't quite see the utility of the big blockquote beginning "He's from Michigan", but that's not a problem for DYK. The Twitch section may also be a bit WP:UNDUE, but I'm not that up on online happenings so it may well be DUE. I leave that to you.
Overall: just waiting for a little clarity on the main hook; I'd be fine with Alt1 too. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 04:29, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
- In the 1923 article (which you can see in this Twitter conversation involving one of the 2020 article's authors), it says "afraid to take a chance", which I think can be reasonably summarized as "cowardice" but it'd be possible to rephrase it; adding ALT2 for a more direct parallel to the source. jp×g 06:19, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
- Agreed that it's a fair summary on taking another look. I actually still prefer Alt1 (Archie more recognizable than an anonymous letter-writer, and "simpiest of the simps" has a nice ring to it). Main/alt2 also fine; will leave it up to the promoter. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 06:25, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
