Created by Paul_012 (talk). Self-nominated at 06:33, 15 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/New World Department Store (Bangkok); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • The nomination seems to have been made a few hours after the seven-day window closed, but we can let that pass in good faith. The article looks otherwise eligible, with the hook fact sourced and the QPQ completed. Could you add sources for the unsourced part at the end of the History section though?--NØ 09:37, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Thanks; done. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:44, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Update: I've added an image to the nom above and asked MaranoFan for further review. (This was previously promoted to prep, but I've asked for it to be brought back for further consideration.) --Paul_012 (talk) 10:02, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
  • The image looks alright to me in terms of licensing. You may want to use the cropped version in the article as well, though, as I believe one of the conditions for an image to appear at DYK is that it should be used in the article.--NØ 10:34, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Thanks. According to WP:DYKIMG, a crop of an image already in the article should be okay for DYK. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:03, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
