Article is new, long enough, well sourced. Hook is short enough, and appropriately "surprising" to gain attention. Article just needs a little work to check that citations match statements, e.g. the Boston Globe source does not seem to support the preceding statement about walking under the arms of the sculpture. – Fayenatic London 16:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Apologies for the delay, as it would have been timely to release this sooner. (I had not realised that it was down to me to follow up after my initial assessment, and was assuming that another DYK regular would follow up this nomination before now.) I have reviewed the current version of the article, removed one factoid that I did not find cited, moved a couple of sentences, and reused a citation. I cannot access all the sources in the UK, but accept in good faith that they now support the adjacent statements. As far as I am concerned, this is now OK to go ahead. – Fayenatic London 15:38, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
