General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article looks good and is just long enough. Should be good to go (technically the article doesn't explicitly state "walked on two legs", but walking upright means the same thing so I think it should be fine). BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:22, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Original videos

..."Walk Like a Man" by The Four Seasons. The video went viral, amassing more than five million views.

I was unable to find those specific videos. I suspect that they were taken down due to the use of unauthorized music. The current video that I linked to is silent, telling me that the music was removed. Also, I wonder if the originals were released in 2010, as I noticed several blurbs indicating that, but all the extant videos now trace back to January 2011.
