- ... that Lester Collins developed Innisfree Garden (detail pictured) over 55 years, and it was listed as in the National Register of Historic Places in 2019? Source: [1]

- Technically, the article is long enough (2683 chars) but some of the material is replicated (in both lede and body). I'd feel more comfortable if it was a bit longer given this duplication of material. Perhaps expand a little on the nature of Innisfree Garden and what makes it particularly important?
- The hook is short enough and sourced. Looking at the article on the garden itself, there the following information is provided: "inspired by scroll paintings of the 8th-century Chinese poet and painter Wang Wei.". This could be added to Collins' article and maybe included in the hook to make it a bit more hook-y.
- QFQ is still needed.
Expand the article just a bit more and make hook more hooky if possible (though if need be the article should be fine as-is). Volunteer Marek 18:52, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

- Thank you for the review! While you right about the hookiness of the Chinese artist, we had that already in the DYK for the garden. Also: it's normal that the lead duplicates the body. Duplication from a different article would be worse, no? More later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Hollis Taylor. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:34, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
Alright, I think it's good to go. Volunteer Marek 05:02, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
