5x expanded by Morgan695 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:50, 22 December 2019 (UTC).
Expansion began on Dec. 22, growing the article from 740 characters to its current 3851. The article is well-cited throughout and seems neutrally written. The Copyvio Detector tool came back with no issues. While the first hook is sourced reliably, I'm not sure we need it to list his connection to Marc Jacobs, especially as Jacobs has denied it. I prefer ALT1, though I think it could be improved if it mentioned that Rhodes' posthumous outing was controversial. Anyways, approved for ALT1. Ruby2010 (talk) 02:06, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
