• Article is long enough, created within the window and generally in a good place. QPQ is done (I assume the one is good, even though there are two nominators). Images are all appropriately licensed and I can find no evidence of other plagiarism, copyvio or BLP issues. Would suggest linking art deco and ziggurat in the appropriate hooks, and "art-deco style" needs a hyphen in ALT2. Our own article also capitalises Art Deco, as does the main page for this one: would suggest doing so in the hooks. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 06:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

@UndercoverClassicist: Thank you for reviewing! I have capitalized Art Deco and went without hyphens. I am going to skep adding extra links to the hooks. We have had discussions at WT:DYK about just having the article link. I also think readers will click and learn about these. Bruxton (talk) 05:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

• • Happy to Approve on that basis. Can't immediately find that discussion, but I don't think links in the hook are a make-or-break issue: if the promoter feels strongly enough about establishing a consistent style within the set, they can always adjust them.
