Emma Sulkowicz[edit]

... that Emma Sulkowicz has protested Columbia University's handling of her sexual assault case by carrying her mattress around campus?

Created by Jinkinson (talk). Self nominated at 01:37, 1 November 2014 (UTC).

This needs very careful BLP handling. I just removed the accused's name from the article. EEng (talk) 05:39, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
I agree, we should resist articles where no one has been charged. This does not feel like an encyclopedia article. Victuallers (talk) 20:38, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

I have decided not to review this nomination formally because of a potential perceived conflict of interest (family ties to Columbia), but I will just say for any reviewer that I see no problems with it. Since the accused's name has been removed from the article, it's fine as far as I see it. Her protest has, as the sources suggest, drawn a great deal of media attention in the U.S., more than enough to make her notable. And the article focuses mainly on that protest, as it should.

New enough, long enough, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. An eye-catching hook and well-written article. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:48, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
