- ... that the titular antagonist in the Chinese short story "Hu Dagu" is based on a toilet spirit?

- Oooooookay then. Yep. I just read that.
Anyways, the article is new enough (June 7), long enough (5,000+ chars), neutral, cites sources, passes Earwig and eye checks for plagiarism. Hook is short enough, and while I caution the promoter to double check and decide for themselves, does appear to be supported by sources. It is certainly interesting. Guaranteed an 8 slot. QPQ present, no image. Good to go. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 09:26, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
It seems to me that something needs to be said about this connection with the latrine in the lead, or else the reader goes through paragraph after paragraph of fox spirit
before finding the connection. Yoninah (talk) 22:52, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
