... that ruins found underneath a Cairo market in 2006 could belong to the largest sun temple built by Ramesses II?

Created by Green Giant (talk). Self nominated at 02:57, 11 January 2014 (UTC).

Nominated one day after creation. Per DYK rule 2c, lists must be accompanied by at least 1500 characters of prose, but this article only has 251; please expand the text. Note also that the hook does not link to the article, so it should be amended or a new one proposed. I'll complete a full review once the text is expanded. Mind matrix 16:03, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at the nomination. I have expanded the prose and rewritten the hook. I hope it is more acceptable. Green Giant (talk) 00:29, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Excluding lists, text is now about 1750 characters, satisfying length criteria. I will assume good faith on the offline sources (ref 9, 14). The section "China" provides no citations; each paragraph must contain at least one citation. The sentence "sun temples of India were almost all dedicated to the Hindu deity Surya" isn't supported by the associated citation, though the subsequent clause is. The "Others" section needs sources for Qurikancha, and for the Shinto shrines (as a group is OK). All other sourced content has been verified. (The tourism source is OK, as is it is used to cite somewhat trivial info.) Mind matrix 21:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

I've added citations to all sections (but unfortunately one of them is a tourism one because of a lack of direct mentions elsewhere). The Surya clause has been rewritten and a citation added. I've removed the no.14 citation you referred to above because I cannot find more detailed information other than the government one. Thanks again. Green Giant (talk) 05:32, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

All additions and changes are OK. The tourism source is OK as a citation for the fact it supports. Hook is a reasonable size and is sourced in the article, though I've tweaked it slightly for flow. Mind matrix 18:07, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
