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 eligibility:

Cited: - The hook doesn't seem to be cited in the article. The closest I see is Wilt L. Idema's statement that it's "most likely China's earliest vernacular pornographic novel", a somewhat different statement from the hook (with the qualifications "most likely" and "vernacular").
Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting article! The hook needs clearer sourcing or an adjustment. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 08:25, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Well point taken, hmm how about ... that according to one source, The Embroidered Couch is "most likely China's earliest vernacular pornographic novel"? Kingoflettuce (talk) 13:27, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

That works for me. In my opinion it would also be fine to remove "according to one source", as the quotation marks make it clear we're quoting a source. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:50, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
