~~... that Eric Filia worked at the Playboy Mansion while he was suspended by the University of California, Los Angeles?~~ [1]

Reviewed: 5th QPQ out of 7 from Template:Did you know nominations/1935 New York anti-lynching exhibitions

New enough and long enough (over prose 1800 characters). Sufficient in-text citations. Article is short but appears to be neutral and free from close paraphrasing. No copyright violations suggested by Earwigs Copyvio Detector. QPQ satisfied. I would only suggest that the hook be tweaked a little bit to make it more broadly appealing to people unfamiliar with Filia, i.e. stating who exactly Filia was before/after working at the Playboy Mansion and what he did (e.g. "baseball player Eric Filia worked as a butler at...") — Preceding unsigned comment added by Animalparty (talk • contribs) 19:13, June 5, 2021 (UTC)

Animalparty, it's always a fine line between giving up too much info in a hook or not enough. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:28, 7 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
