... that US historian Joanne Passet has written two biographies, one about the author of "Sex Variant Women in Literature" and another about the "Indomitable" publisher Barbara Grier? Source: Both of the Quotes are from her book titles and they are reffed in the article
The article was nominated on the same day it was made, so is new enough. At ~2800 characters, it is long enough and uses in-line citations. The hook is short enough, interesting, and is cited in-line for both parts of the statement and the QPQ is done. Everything looks good to go! SilverserenC03:29, 23 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure that the description of American writer Jeanette Howard Foster as a "Sex Variant Woman" is appropriate - the use of that phrase in the biography title is a reference to a book she wrote. It seems a little reductionist to call her that.Naushervan (talk) 04:47, 23 January 2022 (UTC) -Reply
Naushervan Sure its reductionist! and it was Joanne Passet's reduction" based on the fact that the biography was for a women who had spent most of her life studying "Sex Variant Women in Literature" and therefore was entirely appropriate, but I can see that you might want to censor her reduction.. so go on...I have stepped back to the book title.

Naushervan OK thanks please replace "censor" with "change" or "improve" or "ignore", that word is not essential. More importantly, can we start again? Do you have any thoughts about the nomination? Victuallers (talk) 18:00, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Victuallers The word "censor" has a very specific meaning, and your usage of it in this context suggests to me that any further participation in this conversation by mself would not be considered fairly. I have nothing to add here - please consider yourself "not censored". - Naushervan (talk) 05:08, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Silver seren I appreciate the work that you and Naushervan have put into this nom. I have obviously offended Naushervan and they are unwilling to accept my recant or contribute further. I suggest that I withdraw this nomination and we apply our effort to other articles. OK? Victuallers (talk) 08:26, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
