7.5-metre-tall statue of an apple in Waitomo, New Zealand

Created by Panamitsu (talk). Self-nominated at 05:16, 10 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Waitomo Big Apple; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

... New enough, long enough, hook is interesting, in the article and followed by a citation to a reference containing hook fact. Regarding rest of article, I don't have access to the most sources but AGF on that as otherwise apperas okay. Image is clear and free, and a QPQ has been provided.

Size, etc.[edit]

I strenuously doubt that a sculpted apple 7.5 metres tall (and, from the picture, about that big across) could house "four dining areas with a capacity of 500 people." Are these facilities in another building nearby? The article certainly doesn't say so. Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 22:29, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
