The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
New enough, long enough, no other policy issues except missing citation for last sentence of History section. The image is used in article, freely licensed, but looks blurry at small size, I doubt it will be used.
The hook says he wrote TNT in the house, but the article does not say that. The article only says he built the house sometime after moving to Tahiti in 1924. It doesn't say when he built the house or wrote TNT. The NYT does say he moved in to the house in 1926. If you add that to the article, and say when he wrote TNT (1932-1934), then the hook will be stating things from the article.
Alternatively, another hook could be about how even though the house was declared a National Monument, it still continued to deteriorate due to lack of funds.
