Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Mother Parish of the Apostle Santiago (Los Realejos); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Hook is interesting. Earwig checks out. However, the sourcing is a problem. The citation to Noticias de la historia general de las Islas Canarias does not provide any page numbers. Considering that the cited document runs to nearly 2,000 pages, exact page numbers are needed. The article has a footnote in Spanish, but no explanation as to where it came from. The biggest problem is that one of the main sources for this article—and the source for the ALT—is a blog, which is unacceptable per WP:BLOGS. These all need to be fixed before this DYK nomination can proceed. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 00:08, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Is that English rendering of the name supported by any source in competent English? It seems to me it should at least be "parish church" not "parish", and probably "Apostle James" - and why not link that? Johnbod (talk) 13:47, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wading through treacle... It was a no if you don't have it in English. "Parroquia Matriz" translates as "main church of the parish" NOT "Mother Parish", which is meaningless in English! You don't link Tenerife in the hook', and you should. Johnbod (talk) 04:19, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note that Church of Santa Ana (Garachico) also has "Matriz" in its Spanish name per the main source, which rightly hasn't been translated into the English name. Johnbod (talk) 04:29, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Glad that the naming issue was sorted out. However, the sourcing problems in the article remain and need to be fixed. In addition, the wide span of page numbers cited from Antonio Rumeu de Armas [es] suggests WP:SYNTH. A span of two or three pages is fine, but the single citation comprises three disparate references each spanning about 15–20 pages. That totals to around 60 pages, which is unacceptable. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:28, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm short on the time needed to fix the citations. If someone want to help, I'd be willing to share author credits. If not, I'll withdraw this nomination. --evrik (talk) 14:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
