... that the New Zealand goose Thomas has been described as an "icon of the LGBT community"?

Well written, interesting, QPQ is done (another animal (funny (unfortunatly I will probably burn this QPQ on a mediocre Flash episode))), earwig detects 20%~ overlap so copyvio unlikely. Additionally I'm not one to turn down a goose. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:35, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Panamitsu: I have to retract my approval. This fails on newness. There was 9 days between the article creation and the nomination. The length of the article prior to the most recent chunk of editing was 6,716 bytes. The page of the article at time of nomination was 10,179 Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:16, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - @OlifanofmrTennant: The article was moved from draftspace to mainspace on 29 December, so it is new enough. The "newness" criteria is only for the mainspace. See WP:DYKNEW which says "within the last seven days ... moved from userspace or draftspace into mainspace". Best, ―Panamitsu (talk) 05:36, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    - Oh that's my bad I didn't spot the move in the revision history and the nom states it was created not moved to the mainspace. Well in that case everything checks out. The hook is sourced so it can pass. Apologizes for the hold up. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 07:10, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
