Created by ISD (talk). Self-nominated at 10:36, 7 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Vestal Masturbation T-shirt; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough and long enough. No DYK-eligibility issues. Hooks are cited, verifiable, and interesting, though I lean fairly strongly towards ALT0 (more internationally relevant, and doesn't assume the reader knows the shirt's common name). QPQ done.

I have to quickfail this, as it is in my view a long way from fulfilling criterion 3, being broad in its coverage, and to rectify this a lot will have to be done. This article does not explain the main beats of the controversy or even basic facts, gives little background, and is basically just a WP:PROSELINE listing of individual incidents instead of a cohesive work explaining how, why, and commentary. This is a narrow topic, so it should be relatively easy to mine the existing sources for information and create a more broad article. There just has to be... more, which is possible given that a glance at the sources shows there is much that isn't here.
