Hello, I'm GhostRiver. I'll be reviewing this article against the good article criteria. By doing so, I am earning points for the WikiCup and the January 2025 GAN Backlog Drive. Although a quid pro quo review is not necessary, it is appreciated. You can see what open good article nominations I have here.

I will go through the article section by section checking it against the criteria. Once I have finished my review, I will place the article on hold, giving you seven days to respond. If you need more time, just reach out! While I'll always put the article on hold once it's ready for you to look at, you may start making changes before I complete my review. — GhostRiver 21:00, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Infobox and lede

• Link "went viral" to Viral phenomenon

Added.

• Don't need with More continuing to keep abreast of Anderson's life in the lede (it's fine in the body)

Cut.

• was scuppered by too casual tone

Changed to 'thwarted'.

• More announced Anderson's death in December 2023, though she had in fact died the month before again, for the lede you can just shorten this to "Anderson died in November 2023" (then say "paid tribute to her instead of repeating the surname)

Reworded.

• Drag queen names linked here but not in the body

Added links.

Career

Formation and virality

• Link first instances of More and Anderson's names

Added.

• in which both had sex don't see this part in the source

The ref was in the wrong place; I moved it.

• to the pair's attitude to sex mirroring that of some queer men. → to the pair's "fuck without fear of judgment" attitude, which mirrored that of some queer men.

Tweaked.

• Link "went viral" to Viral phenomenon

Added.

• Link safe for work here, delink it in "Later works"

Modified.

• Link King Princess

Added.

• Comma after named after and sampling the pair

Added.

Later works

• Link Sex Education (TV series)

Added.

• Last sentence of the first para should be restructured - the winner doesn't tie into the streaming hosts

Article doesn't mention series 2's winner, so cut the winner.

• "though with news of her death was broken by More the month after"

Modified.

In popular culture

• Not clear from first sentence that the Frock Destroyers are a musical group

Added.

• While the Frock Destroyers parody is relevant, the Vice and Healy quotes don't really add to the article, especially if Healy's comment wasn't picked up by third-party sources

Cut.

Discography

• I would not include this section at all, given that there's only one single and the duo split up. Instead there should be prose about the single in the "Career" section

I must take you on on this. Any amount of prose about the single anywhere would be undue given that it received no coverage in RSs (with the possible exception of "the second series used the same theme tune as the first", which is already in Slag Wars's article and would be cruft here). MOS:DISCOGRAPHY suggests that all musical works should be listed in tables.

References and links

• Reference [4] is incomplete

Fixed.
