The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Given the combination of a sexuality topic and a freely licensed gif, I think there's a very solid chance this could become one of the top-performing DYK hooks of all time. GAN assumed to have covered some components, and others all check out apart from QPQ, which still needs to be done. I think ALT0 is definitely the stronger choice for a hook. For sourcing, the hook includes a temporal relationship (her popularity increased after using the expression) not evidenced in the provided source, but it does appear in the article ("break-out") and is sourced appropriately, although you need to remove the slash at the end of the URL to get it to work. Regarding hook language, I think there's a risk that readers gravitate to ahegao instead of Delphine's article, so I would suggest this change (which also improves concision and fixes the possessive linking):
ALT0a: ... that Belle Delphine's online popularity surged after she replicated the orgasm faces featured in Japanese manga?
@Sdkb: hey there! As a quick note, general DYK practice is to not rely on an article's GA status to fulfill DYK requirements; this article is liable to get lots of eyes, as you said, so a double-check can't hurt. no worries, everything looks fine, but something to keep in mind! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 08:46, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Isn’t it that Delphine’s Instagram account reinstated? I saw her official account on Instagram today (and it even has the Official symbol to denote authenticity) and it shows she is unbanned from Instagram. I know it’s a bad idea to simply add original research of such observation, but I think a good reliable source might be useful to back up the point about her reinstated Instagram account.

for ALT0a. The pageviews for this one should definitely be something to watch. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} talk 23:05, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
