Gromit Unleashed
[edit]- ... that a July 2013 project called Gromit Unleashed saw 80 decorated giant fibreglass sculptures of Aardman Animations' character Gromit (example pictured) displayed in and around Bristol, England?

The article checks out in length and date per DYK check tool. Referencing is good, at least one ref per paragraph. QPQ is satisfied. I found no copyright violations or too-close paraphrasing. The hook is okay for length and its fact is supported by online cites.
The image File:Gromit unleashed hero2.jpg, has been nominated for deletion, so that problem must be fixed, or the image not used. The piped link which displays "fibreglass sculptures" implies that the linked article is not about Gromit sculptures but about ones generally made of fibreglass.

- Also, the Variety cite is reported to have been dead since May. Binksternet (talk) 20:30, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, I have fixed the dead link, found new images on Commons and reworded the hook. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:25, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- I slightly reworked the hook for reading flow—hope you don't mind. The new image is properly public domain. The nomination is good to go. Binksternet (talk) 17:21, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Much of the article content is copied without attribution from the main Wallace and Gromit page; the original content is well under the 1500-character minimum. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:01, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
- Ah! I did not check whether some text had been drawn from elsewhere on Wikipedia. This particular text appears to be serving as padding to make the article be large enough for DYK—it goes into detail about Gromit in a manner that is not so relevant to the sculpture project.

- Oh dear, I overlooked that reusing other Wiki material disqualified on the grounds of length. Asit is now past the five day limit, I guess this nomination will have to be withdrawn. Jezhotwells (talk) 11:06, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, if you can expand the article with enough relevant, original material, it would still be eligible, since the nomination is already in process. Whether enough of it does exist is another issue entirely. Did you want to try to expand it sufficiently, or would you prefer to withdraw it? BlueMoonset (talk) 19:21, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. I will work on this and post here hopefully tomorrow when done. Jezhotwells (talk) 10:58, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
- I think that I have this in much better shape now if you care to take a look. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:44, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
. Length and referencing are good, text is newly written, image is public domain. Binksternet (talk) 15:49, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
