ALT1:... that bobble-head dolls of "Hustler Priest" Joe Carroll were made as fundraising rewards for donors of the San Diego's St. Vincent de Paul Center? Source: "The Hustler Priest: Questions for Father Joe", Voice of San Diego
Comment: Article was created from work done at User:RightCowLeftCoast/sandbox/Joe Carroll (priest) prior to it being moved into the mainspace. Article is over 1,500 characters of prose and most, if not all, sentences have in-line citation to a reliable source. Earwig's copyvio detector has the highest single source score at 14.5%, "Violation unlikely". No image used for this DYKN, though the article has two images which have appropriate licenses. QPQ done.
Overall: Article meets all requirements for length, sourcing and newness. Earwig did not pick up any copyvio, only false positives for names and places etc. All of the hooks are interesting (sounds like Hustler Joe had an interesting life!). I was able to verify all of the hooks except for ALT3, so I am approving everything except 3. BuySomeApples (talk) 03:49, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
