This hook makes a claim about the church being the largest in the world which is not cited - or even mentioned - in the article apart from a wikilinked list in the "See Also" section. Per
requirement D1 for citation the hook should not be approved as written. Consider a shorter hook without the claim such as "... that the Shrine of St. Paulina (pictured), one of the largest churches in the world, is dedicated to Pauline of the Agonizing Heart of Jesus, is dedicated to the first female saint from Brazil?" Alternatively, (and possibly preferred) include the claim in the article with appropriate citation as this would also help demonstrate notability of the article's subject. Additional notes: article is new; long enough; and uses inline citations though they are all paragraph-ending citations making it more difficult to confirm individual claims; article is start-class; clears screening via

N8wilson: Fair enough. I have modified the hook accordingly. The claim that she was the first female saint is mentioned in the history section. I did know that circular referencing was involved but the idea behind including the description about the size was to make it more catchy. But I am unable to find any reliable sources mentioning it as one of the largest churches in the world, probably due its relative obscurity outside Brazil, so I will leave it out for now.

Jupitus Smart: I think this claim is catchy and interesting even with that portion omitted. Plus - it's a beautiful church. Maybe a future editor can source the bit about the size later. Meanwhile, the rest looks good: QPQ done, image clear and freely licensed. Nice work! Updating to tick.
