  • The Ponsonby News source is an advertisement. Traumnovelle (talk) 03:07, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
  • Also imo the hook is just not interesting. Artists do exhibitions. Gardens commemorating things are very common. I'd like to see an alternate hook if this is to be passed. grapesurgeon (talk) 15:50, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

  • ALT1 ... that Tui Hobson creates art with tools she inherited from her father, a factory owner? Bremps... 20:21, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
  • @Avawatson03: are you ok with Bremps' proposed hook above? grapesurgeon (talk) 05:41, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
  • @Grapesurgeon: Sorry for the delayed response, but yes I am happy with their proposed hook. Avawatson03 (talk) 06:00, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
  • @Avawatson03: Imo the article's lead is too short; will move to fuller review once expanded a bit. It doesn't need to be long; even just another sentence or two that covers the important points of this person could be enough. grapesurgeon (talk) 21:56, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
  • @Grapesurgeon: Thank you for the feedback on the article, I appreciate it as a beginning editor. I have expanded the article's lead. Avawatson03 (talk) 05:36, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?
  • Interesting: No - ?
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article was moved to the mainspace on February 1, and nominated for DYK 7.5 days later. Length and sourcing are adequate. The article is mostly written in a neutral tone, except for one phrase: "This project is one of her most notable international commissions". The "Ponsonby News" appears to be a promotional press release, so I question its reliability. I cannot access the "Pataka" source. The "Te Tuhi" appears to be a promotional site for artists, so it may not be neutral. Are there any independent sources, such as newspapers for the phrase in question? No plagiarism issues were detected. Hook ALT0 is very wordy, and tries to say too much to be interesting. Also, the sources supporting that hook are questions as per above. Please consider proposing a shorter hook focusing on one aspect. Hook ALT1 is shorter, more interesting, cited and verified by the source. All images used in the article have a pulbic domain license on the Commons. QPQ is not required for this nomination. Overall, the nomination is in good shape with attention needed on sourcing for ALT0, and the promotional tone of that one phrase. Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 13:09, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
