Well, this has been languishing in the GAN queue for months, so perhaps editors feel, with some reason, that this is a 'difficult' nomination. It's a well-written article on a notable topic so it deserves a fair hearing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:21, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Work
There seem to be 39 separate drawings in the category 'Sex drawings by User:Seedfeeder' and 3 drawings in the parent category 'Drawings by User:Seedfeeder', one of which is a barnstar. The remaining images are alternate versions of the same drawings.

In the list of bluelinked Wikipedia articles, Deep-throating is a redirect to Fellatio, so it should be removed from the list.

That leaves 24 named articles; it's unclear what the 35 articles mentioned by Der Standard may have been or whether we should accept that figure uncritically. Perhaps we'd do best to say 'according to Der Standard in 2015'.

Seedfeeder
The subject was self-described as a mechanical engineer, a fact that should be mentioned in the article. Signpost, In the Media, 26 November 2014 states that "Seedfeeder's identity is unknown, and nothing is known about him outside of what information he's offered on Wikipedia, where he has identified himself as a heterosexual male and a mechanical engineer." We can cite Signpost as effectively a primary source for both these facts (indeed, the whole of that quotation), which might go in a very brief section called "Biography". You might perhaps wish to make "Work" a subsection of that.

Images
Well, the two Seedfeeder images shown are relevant and correctly licensed.

I understand exactly why none of the 'Category:Sex drawings by User:Seedfeeder' are actually included in the article, but since "Wikipedia is not censored" (WP:NOTCENSORED), and since the article is principally about these images (as we know almost nothing about Seedfeeder apart from them), I'd say there was a clear reason to include at least one of them. You could consider cropping one, perhaps, but since the images themselves are already in use on some dozens of Wikipedia articles, it would seem entirely reasonable to include one or two of them here where they are discussed directly. You might want to include one in "Work", and you might want to put one of the images with supposed "racist and sexist undertones" in "Negative reactions", so that the text is suitably supported by the images under discussion.

Style
The article is written in an admirably clear and neutral style.

Summary
Well, that's all from me. The "References" fixes are required; all the rest are up for discussion really, though I think they should be considered carefully for inclusion. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:20, 21 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Two events have occurred relevant to this GAN. Firstly, both nom and nom's most likely replacement are currently busy and unable to attend to the review. Secondly, [has kindly analysed the sources used in the article, and (given that they are in deprecated media) also those sources' authors. The materials fail on both counts. As the remaining sources do not establish notability, and the as-yet-unused foreign supplementary sources rely on those analysed, notability cannot be established. I therefore recommend that the article be deleted at AfD, and am closing this GAN now. [[User:Chiswick Chap|Chiswick Chap]] (talk) 09:27, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
