St. Nicholas Hotel (Springfield, Illinois)
[edit]- ... that after Illinois Secretary of State Paul Powell had died in 1970, $750,000 in cash was found stashed in shoeboxes and various containers in his room at Springfield's St. Nicholas Hotel?

The article doesn't seem to have been significantly expanded—it seems there's been a total change of fewer than 400 characters from 25 December to now. The hook was present (and referenced) in the original article. It's a nice article with an interesting hook, so hopefully this can be expanded in time. matt (talk) 00:18, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
Excuse me, matt. It's the hotel article, not the bio, that is nominated for DYK. --PFHLai (talk) 04:51, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- Umm... whoops. {{trout}}! The actual article is fine. While the hook is mentioned in the Paul Powell article (and has done for some time), the hotel article doesn't just re-hash existing material; it is presented in a new way with different references.
