Article was moved to mainspace on the 28th, so is new enough. At over 3000 characters, it is long enough. In-line citations are properly used, the article reads neutrally, and the copyvio detector found no issues. The hook is neutral, interesting, and cited in-line in the article. The QPQ has been done. Looks good to go! Silver seren^C 23:24, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saint, St. or St George's

To prevent an edit war:

St. George's is incorrect due to the incorrect use of a full stop. This because St is a contraction of Saint and hence a . is not used. St., with a full stop, is used for Street where the word is abbreviated (not contracted) to the first two letters.
Saint is valid as, of course, that is the full honorific.
St is valid as that is a contraction of Saint. It is also as used by the church themselves, see the sign which is visible on the photograph, and by the NZ government [1]
