Jools Lebron

(

... that following the success of Jools Lebron's "demure" videos, she stated that she was able to use the proceeds to pay for her gender transition - only for someone else to trademark it? Source: https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/demure-creater-tiktok-jools-lebron-gender-transition-1236109680/ for transition, https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/08/26/very-demure-very-mindful-jools-lebron-tiktok/ for skulduggery
- ALT1: ... that the August 2024 "demure" TikTok trend was started by Jools Lebron? Source: per ALT0
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Michael Jerrell
- Comment: Drive-by nom. Appears to meet minimum standards, will go through with a fine-toothed comb when I don't have a 7-day clock ticking. The bit of ALT0 after the dash probably deserves WP:DYKTRIMming but I see no harm in adding it post hoc for the promoter's consideration.

Created by Willthacheerleader18 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 247 past nominations.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well sourced and neutral. Earwig picked up one phrase, which I think should be re-written: "...individuals with no known connection to Lebron separately tried to register demure-related trademarks ..." which is in the Indpendent source. Hook is cited and interesting. QPQ is done. I like the snappy ALT1. Once the phrase is re-written, should be good to go. Lajmmoore (talk) 11:44, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Just pinging @Willthacheerleader18: and Launchballer as you must have been waiting patiently for a review Lajmmoore (talk) 11:45, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

@Lajmmoore: I believe I have satisfied your concerns.--Laun chba ller 12:23, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Perfect Launchballer, thank you so much Lajmmoore (talk) 13:26, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Promoters: This is currently the oldest Approved nomination by about four days. What else do I have to do to get this promoted?--Laun chba ller 11:29, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer, Willthacheerleader18, and Rjjiii: I can't tell for sure, because TMZ's legal reporting is (understandably) shit and Today and PinkNews don't do much to clarify, but it sure looks to me like someone else applied for the trademark first, and Lebron assumed that meant they'd get it. Two days later, they realized they could file as well and contest it, and they seem to think (judging from the Today article) that they'll get the trademark. So, the hook doesn't really check out – it was a two-day story implied to have resolved in her favor. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Originally, the hook ended at "transition". What is your objection to running the first 'half' of ALT0?--Laun chba ller 09:49, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Launchballer - I think there's a parallel discussion about what to run in the prep queue, see here - it might be easier to take your suggestion over there? Lajmmoore (talk) 17:38, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

USPTO: Not yet examined by an attorney. That's my bad; I just took the PinkNews source at their word. No objections to ALT1 or ALT0 ending at "transition." Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 02:01, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron, Lajmmoore, and Rjjiii: What else do I have do to get this approved?--Laun chba ller 08:59, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Would be happy with ALT0, as long as the last bit is cut off :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 09:06, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

For PSHAW then: ALT0a: ... that following the success of Jools Lebron's "demure" videos, she stated that she was able to use the proceeds to pay for her gender transition?--Laun chba ller 09:07, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
