5x expanded by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 04:37, 12 November 2019 (UTC).
This impressive article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:38, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Johnbod and Cwmhiraeth: I've promoted this as "that the Buddhist site of Ratnagiri in Odisha (Buddha head pictured) includes rare carved scenes that seem to combine eroticism and hair-cutting?", to address the facts that a) we don't usually include large countries when describing places, and b) the article text only says that they seem to depict that particular combination. If either of you have objections, I will reverse my promotion, but I didn't want to hold this up over a minor issue. Vanamonde (Talk) 09:52, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
