  • Comment I think the facts about her being banned from Australia and Fiji are really interesting/crazy so I want to suggest some alts if you don't mind:
    ALT3: ... that Bonnie Blue (pictured) was banned from multiple countries because of her porn career?
    ALT4: ... that Bonnie Blue (pictured) was banned from multiple countries because she had too much sex?
Di (they-them) (talk) 14:28, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Multiple countries" would need an end-of-sentence citation for Australia. That said, "that Matty Healy is banned from Dubai" was the most-viewed non-image hook of May 2023, so perhaps a bald ALT5: ... that Bonnie Blue (pictured) is banned from Fiji?--Launchballer 15:02, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I reworded the sentence in question, so either ALT3 or ALT4 could be trimmed at 'countries'.--Launchballer 04:04, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, sourced enough (althought some international coverage might be a nice addition), is neutral and is plagiarism free (just quotes from Earwig). Hooks are cited, and interesting. Image is free to use, and is clear, CC BY checked on Commons and YT. QPQ is done. On the hooks, I think "... is banned in Fiji" is a good one - I feel like 'multiple countries' implies several (i.e. 3+), not two places. Lajmmoore (talk) 12:11, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ALT5 appears to be unduly negative for a hook. Pinging another promoter AirshipJungleman29 for thoughts. SL93 (talk) 20:36, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think ALTs 3–5 violate WP:DYKBLP SL93. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:00, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's a shame, I'd agree with 3-4, but I thought 5 was OK as its brief, and avoided gratuity. Happy to support consensus though! It's so interesting how interpretation of the guidelines differs between people Lajmmoore (talk) 21:15, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion seemed to skip over the first three hooks; they have neither been approved or rejected. Could someone assess them?--Launchballer 23:32, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Launchballer I can if you want me to, but I didn't because barely anyone has been promoting nominations that I have been involved in and barely anyone else have been building preps. SL93 (talk) 01:43, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No preference.--Launchballer 02:46, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hook reviews:

  • ALT0 so the source in Glamour UK but it is quoting the Daily Star & the full quotation goes: "Blue has also made claims about sleeping with married men, claiming that these men came to her because they were not satisfied by their partners. “It’s no secret women moan a lot,” she said to the Daily Star. "What they don’t understand is all that moaning is unattractive and making their men look else where for fun and pleasure." She added, “If women were better in the bedroom, men wouldn’t cheat. All their nagging about pots not being done is resulting in me being bent over their kitchen worktops whilst they’re out. I used to blame the men for cheating but since being a sex worker, I blame the woman. Men look elsewhere when they’re bored, so stop boring them.” I'would welcome advice on whether Glamour quoting the Daily Star counts as a RS? I also think the current wording hides the full implication of her beliefs i.e. that women are bad at sex so that forces men to go to her. Question?
  • ALT1 so the source is Cosmopolitan which is taken as a RS on a case by case basis - here I think I'd lean towards it being reliable, as they quote Blue & the full quotation is "Blue said she offers the students the chance to have sex with her for free on the basis that she can film it and use the content in her online material." Green tickY
  • ALT2 the source used in from GB News which is deemed unreliable (WP:GBNEWS) and "shouldn't be used as a source for living people" as per WP:GUNREL - I missed this totally when I did the initial review, so this is my mistake. I would recommend alternative sourcing is found for its inline referencing. Red XN
  • ALT3 as discussion above
  • ALT4 as discussion above
  • ALT5 as discussion above

Overall, and admitting my own mistake, I would suggest that ALT1 is OK to be used, but that ALTS 0 and 2 are not from reliable enough sources. Further GB News can't be used to support information inline, please ping me when that is removed. Thanks very much for the reminder to be thorough, a good set of lessons for me as a reviewer Lajmmoore (talk) 21:03, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed GB News from prose, even though it was my understanding that interviews come under WP:ABOUTSELF. It should still be fine for the Filmography table. I missed the phrase "Daily Star" in the source and assumed it was said in a podcast, so cut.--Launchballer 21:57, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just discovered this, and in my view any DYK hook that talks about a living person committing adultery should be nowhere near the main page. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:44, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYKHOOKBLP only applies to unduly negative hooks and there is no way that a hook about a sex worker having sex qualifies for that.--Launchballer 10:04, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Let's strike ALT0 then - I doubt the security of the sourcing anyway, but ALT1 doesn't mention adultery Lajmmoore (talk) 14:51, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Lajmmoore: Is this approved? If not, what else do I have to do?--Launchballer 17:00, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Launchballer, I was waiting to see if Ritchie333 was OK with ALT0 being struck, but I forgot to ping! I can approve ALT1. (FYI I am going to be offline for about ten days though from tomorrow) Lajmmoore (talk) 21:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Re-ping to @Ritchie333: as per above comment Lajmmoore (talk) 18:42, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I still think putting this on the main page isn't a good idea. Looks like I'll have to escalate this as we're not going to agree. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:46, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How about
  • ALT1a: ... that for three weeks in 2024, Bonnie Blue (pictured) allowed male students to have sex with her on the condition that she was allowed to film them and publish the content?
TarnishedPathtalk 11:29, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Eh. I say adding "for free" adds interest and stating the condition would remove it. I can also suggest:
ALT6: ... that Bonnie Blue (pictured) has been described as having "given hypersexuality a figurehead"?
ALT7: ... that when Bonnie Blue (pictured) went viral, one commentator attributed it to the "outrage economy"?
ALT8: ... that both Bonnie Blue (pictured) and the 4B movement have been described as "highly-publicised and extreme responses to our sexual culture"?--Launchballer 15:28, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Launchballer could you say which source supports each? Lajmmoore (talk) 18:10, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
6 and 8 are sourced to [1], while 7 is sourced to [2].--Launchballer 21:52, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
*ALT6 - the quote is "hypersexualistion a figurehead" - which we could change the ALT to as the source is good.
*ALT7 - I think "commentor" should change to "journalist" since Claire Hubble is Head of Audience for the i (here & here)
  • ALT8 - no issues
Thanks for revising the hooks Launchballer, I think with the tweaks all three could be suited Lajmmoore (talk) 22:18, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
ALT9: ... that Bonnie Blue (pictured) has been described as having "given hypersexualisation a figurehead"?
ALT10: ... that when Bonnie Blue (pictured) went viral, one journalist attributed it to the "outrage economy"?--Launchballer 23:47, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ritchie333 do ALTS 8, 9 and 10 allay your concerns as per this discussion? Lajmmoore (talk) 09:33, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think ALT10 is probably my preference. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:21, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much everyone! A comment for the promoter that ALT10 has the most consensus. Many thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 20:40, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Less interesting may be the fact that she was denied the tourist visa she had applied for (which "does not allow you to work in the country, including as a paid content creator") and then did the same thing in another country. Maybe not so much "because of her porn career" or "had too much sex" and a bit more of "vocally and publicly intended to breach the conditions of her tourist visa".Parsons nose (talk) 07:15, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Personal opinions

[edit]

Lots of guff in the article about what people have said about her and her actions. Many people have their opinions and there could be a never ending list of them here. Maybe could just include ones from people who are directly connected to her in some way, or something else perhaps. 23:36, 13 February 2025 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:6A3A:F800:39CD:E3B5:47C0:E3FC (talk)

Name

[edit]

The performer's name is mentioned in reputable citations including this one which is already used in the article. [3] Additionally Sky News, Derby Telegraph, Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Nottingham Post. Why does Wikipedia self-censor when mainstream news in the performer's country of origin (and therefore subject to criminal and civil proceedings if breaking the law, which American-based Wikipedia isn't) are publishing it freely? Why do certain people have a veto over facts that are in the public domain? Unknown Temptation (talk) 19:26, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
