Hi, GnocchiFan. Thanks for writing this article. It's a really interesting topic, and our coverage of trans/nonbinary/GNC people in the global south is, as I'm sure you know, quite lacking.

Sadly, I'm afraid I have to "quick-fail" this. That's a somewhat harsh term, and I want to be clear that I'm not saying this couldn't be a GA, or that you haven't done good work here. But I do find that this is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria—specifically #3a, it addresses the main aspects of the topic. This article contains 621 words of prose. While there is no de jure length requirement at GA, an article being that short, for a person who lived during the age of mass media, strongly suggests that adequate breadth has not been achieved. Examples of major omissions include:

• When did she start identifying/presenting as feminine? Was it only when she became a sex worker, or after that?
• What are the circumstances of the attempted murder she was arrested for? Was she ever tried, ever convicted?
• It is mentioned retrospectively that she was addicted to drugs and alcohol while in São Paulo, but the first paragraph only mentions addiction once she arrived in Rome.
• By the third paragraph she is free. How did she get out of prison?
• If there's a whole documentary about her, that probably deserves more than two sentencces.
• When and why was she expelled from Italy? How long was she in Brazil before her death? Did she do anything of note there before dying? What were the circumstances of her death?
• Probably a small amount more could be said about the film Princesa, like who played her.

If the sources exist to answer these questions, then I think this could be fixed in one or two sessions of editing. If they do not, then perhaps this article is not destined to be a GA... and some articles simply are not. (It's too late this time around, but in a similar situation in the future, this would have definitely been eligible for WP:DYK.) Either way, again, thank you for submitting this article. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe) 21:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
