 * Symbol voting keep.svg Symbol voting keep.svg Review GTG. What a wonderful NEW article.  Easily long enough.  Timely nominated.  I did not have access to the "subscription only" material.  But the hooks were all cited and verified to the linked newspaper article from The Guardian (which I thought was really entertaining).  I think original ALT1 ("shoe fetishist") and now deleted is a speculative conclusion (which might be reasonably deduced), but I don't think we ought to traffic in speculation about Mr. Bussey's proclivities on the main page.   I also would like to put the photograph of the boots on the main page (I personally don't think that is too risqué. but YMMV).  All of the other hooks are actually neutral and track the cited sources.  Free of copyright violations or close paraphrasing.  QPQ is an IOU, which will soon be resolved.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 21:17, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The picture is not suitable for the main page as it is not free. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:05, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you Philafrenzy for ALT2 and that clarification, and to 7&amp;6=thirteen for a prompt review. QPQ review now done. My preference is for ALT2, so I will be bold and strike the other two. Edwardx (talk) 11:30, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
