Created by Edwardx (talk), Philafrenzy (talk), and Whispyhistory (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 13:21, 29 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Noel Road; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Long enough article, nominated in time. Everything is cited and looks good. No copyright issues found. The hooks are interesting and Noel Road is mentioned in the image caption of the source. The picture looks good, is free and appears in the article. QPQ is done. Good to go. Ffranc (talk) 10:57, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
