Created by BigDom (talk). Self-nominated at 14:19, 4 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Halles de Niort; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

@BigDom: Date, size, refs, neutrality, QPQ, copyvio spotcheck, hook, all GTG. I could quibble that the hook is rather boring, but I can't quickly come up with an alt myself. I'd also suggest adding the the hook that the hall is ~150 years old. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:01, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  - Thanks, I think this is a bit better - at least the date can help folks interested in history know a bit more about this. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BigDom: I think I have seen literal hooks like this kicked back for not being interesting. Myself I am interested in such topics and I hope others are. I agree with @Piotrus: that ALT1 is better because of the date. (I added ALT1 to the beginning of the hook for clarity) Lightburst (talk) 23:55, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
