Kwakiutl (statue)

(

)

... that the City of Brampton moved the statue Kwakiutl behind plants, into a greenhouse, after his genitals raised a flap?

Reviewed: Kate Gynther, Melissa Rippon, Rebecca Rippon
Comment: Could this DYK posting be delayed until the 40th anniversary of the statue's unveiling, July 19? Not only will this be of extra relevance, being on the anniversary, but I expect to have a few more sources in the mix by then, perhaps have it up to GA quality.

ALT1: ... that when public artwork Kwakiutl caused controversy in 1972, artist Simon Charlie commented he didn't know what a fig leaf looked like? -- Zanimum (talk) 21:26, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Comment regarding date request: No, as that is more than 6 weeks after nomination. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:38, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, unaware of that policy. Whenever, then. -- Zanimum (talk) 13:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
  - It's down near the bottom of the page. I agree, it could be better socialised. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:14, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Note that this article was just designated WP:GA, after a week-long review process. -- Zanimum (talk) 20:18, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Hook: Short enough, interesting, AGF on offline source

Article: Not new enough (created 21 February, nominated 5 March; DYKs should be nominated within 5 days of creation or expansion). Long enough, well referenced (indeed!). Not going to go further as the date is a deal breaker.

Summary:

A very interesting article and a fine GA, but sadly not new enough for DYK. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:18, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I vote to treat this one as eligible. Yes, it was nominated 2 weeks late, but the nomination was in good faith -- and some nominations have been here for months, what with delays in review, getting pulled out of queues, etc. --Orlady (talk) 03:36, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Alrighty. AGF on offline sources. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:24, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
