- Comment Without context, "Public works" normally means drains and bridges, doesn't it? Certainly in the UK, where we used to have a Ministry of Works. Better to use "public sculptures" here, & I'd rename the article too. Johnbod (talk) 17:38, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Article length and age are fine (moved to main-space on the same day of DYK nomination), no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used throughout. Hook length within limit and facts are cited in the article. Image is good and in public domain with no licensing concerns. Good to go with ALT1 and the image. — Amkgp 💬 16:07, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
