Improved to Good Article status by Soulbust (talk). Self-nominated at 16:32, 1 November 2021 (UTC).

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: 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?

Hi, @Sdkb:, I did the QPQ over at Woman's Head (Picasso), I just forgot to denote that here. Sorry about that. Also, I do like ALT0a a lot. Best wishes, Soulbust (talk) 21:35, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
for ALT0a. The pageviews for this one should definitely be something to watch. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}}talk 23:05, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
  • @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 (talkcontribs) (they/them) 08:46, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
