 * The specific claim that the 12 towers represent the twelve gates of Jerusalem isn't actually in the article - only that the chandelier as a whole symbolises Jerusalem. Furius (talk) 15:03, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
 * (I keep humming: "Von 12 Perlen sind die Tore", stanza 2 of Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, with the same symbolism.) Yes, not yet, possibly never, much else to do, therefore
 * ALT1: ... that the Romanesque wheel chandeliers Hezilo chandelier (pictured) and Azelin chandelier, treasures of the Hildesheim Cathedral, are symbols of the heavenly Jerusalem? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:27, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg This article is new enough and long enough, the image is freely available and the article altogether meets the DYK criteria. My quibble is with the hook which is a bit clunky, with the word "chandelier" occurring three times. Also, the word Romanesque is not supported by an inline citation. What about this alternative hook:
 * ALT2: ... that the Hezilo chandelier (pictured) and the Azelin chandelier, treasures of Hildesheim Cathedral, are symbols of the heavenly Jerusalem? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:26, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Full review for ALT2: New enough (created 4 May, nominated 9 May within 5 days) and long enough. Hook image is free. QPQ OK. No plagiarism found. No problem with disambig links or with external links. Issue: I cannot find any mention in the article that the Azelin chandelier symbolises Jerusalem, although this fact is cited with online reference #2 on its own page. If you could kindly copy this fact with its citation to the Hezilo chandelier article, then this nomination will be good to go.--Storye book (talk) 15:22, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I got the reference over, - the wording can likely be improved, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:06, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you Gerda. The citation and words are now OK. Citation #6 translates easily using Google Translate. Good to go.--Storye book (talk) 17:43, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
