Tennant Creek Catholic Church[edit]
- that the Tennant Creek Catholic Church, once known as the "longest church" in Australia, was over 700 kilometres long? Source: The church building was originally constructed in 1904 in Pine Creek, which is 760 km north of Tennant Creek... The dismantled church was railed to Birdum and then trucked the remaining distance. The trucks carrying the dismantled church were caught in floods at Daly Waters and parts of the loads were left on the roadside. Spread out along the route for some time, it became known as the "longest church in Australia".

New enough, long enough, no close paraphrasing or neutrality issues detected. @Tenniscourtisland: However, the hooks do not exist in the article especially the "over 700 kilometres long". And the source used here are not sourced but explanatory footnotes also not in the article. I suggest incorporating an inline citations for the dimensions or suggesting another more simpler hook like... that the Tennant Creek Catholic Church, once known as the "longest church" in Australia.

BabbaQ, nothing has changed in the article, yet you have passed it despite the issues KAVEBEAR originally noted with the hooks. The point there, that nowhere does the article say that the church was actually spread out over more than 700 kilometres, still seems accurate. Hooks need to be clearly backed up by the article, and KAVEBEAR's right: this one isn't. The problem here is that the nominator, Tenniscourtisland, has not responded to these points in over a month.

I have just checked Tenniscourtisland's talk page, and the notification of the issues from the original review was removed from said page on November 20. There has been a single spate of edits by the nominator on December 10, at which time the November 30 ping would have been seen. I have to assume there is no intention to address the issues raised with the hook, so I'm marking this for closure. If the nominator returns before this closes and does address the issues, the review can always continue, but the nomination is now two months old, and has been waiting for action long enough.
