Ornamentation on the façade of Balluta Buildings
- ... that Balluta Buildings (detail pictured), one of the finest Art Nouveau buildings in Malta, was built on the grounds of Villa St Ignatius, one of the earliest Gothic Revival buildings on the island? Sources:
- "The majestic and monumental Balluta Buildings represent the epitome of the short-lived Art Nouveau architectural period in Malta." (Hughes, Quentin; Thake, Conrad (2005). Malta, War & Peace: An Architectural Chronicle 1800–2000. Midsea Books Ltd. p. 139. ISBN 9789993270553.)
- "By the 1970s all of the surrounding grounds [of Villa St Ignatius] ... had been sold off and developed into condominia starting with the imposing Balluta Buildings completed in the 1920s." (Said, Edward (November 2017). "St Ignatius Villa, Scicluna Street, St Julians – Heritage Assessment" (PDF). Architecture XV. p. 10.)
- "In conclusion this begs the question: is Villa St Ignatius one of the earliest if not the first building in Malta with Neo-Gothic motifs?" (Said, Edward (November 2017). "St Ignatius Villa, Scicluna Street, St Julians – Heritage Assessment" (PDF). Architecture XV. p. 12.)

@Xwejnusgozo: per WP:DYKSG#H4, a QPQ review per article is required. So you’ll need one more review. Onceinawhile (talk) 13:34, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- I have reviewed the sources against the hook. I was going to question the third (Said) source, as the quote is phrased as a question, but on reading the source itself it’s clear that the hook is accurate and sourced. Onceinawhile (talk) 13:46, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- Otherwise, hook is well written and just under the 200 limit, the articles are both long enough, both well written and well sourced. The articles are both new enough. So good to go once the QPQ is done. Onceinawhile (talk) 13:52, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- Onceinawhile, have you checked the remaining "within policy" criteria: neutrality and close paraphrasing/copyvio? If so, please mention them in your review. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:12, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you BlueMoonset. Both articles are within policy, written neutrally, well sourced, and free of close paraphrasing/copyvio/plagiarism. Onceinawhile (talk) 20:09, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
