 * Symbol delete vote.svg 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)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg 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.
