- New enough - hit mainspace today
- Long enough (over 1,500 characters)
- Within policy (appears neutral, all information is cited to what appear to be reliable sources and there are no issues with copyvios).
- The hook is supported by a third party reliable source, is 'hooky' enough, and interesting.

Is he still a sex worker - or a former sex worker? I think that would need to be resolved before this is promoted. Gatoclass (talk) 14:01, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Gatoclass: He uses past tense to describe his time in sex work in this 2007 interview cited in the article ("when I was a prostitute"). Amended the lede to reflect. Morgan695 (talk) 14:46, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- It's unclear in the sources I was able to find, so I've revised the tenses hook below. Morgan695 (talk) 15:35, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
