5x expanded by Nvvchar (talk). Self-nominated at 07:21, 13 August 2015 (UTC).
This substantial article is a five-fold expansion that is new enough and long enough. The image is appropriately licensed and any of the hooks could be used as all have inline citations. However if the image is used, ALT1 is less suitable as it refers to the whole temple. The article is neutral and the spot checks I made did not bring up any close paraphrasing problems. What an amazing edifice! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:22, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
