::: Signature for day 1: Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 15:30, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
::* Day 2:
::* Hook:
:::* Hook exceeds 200 characters — pinging {{u|Yoninah}} to look if this appropriate
:::* I am a bit concerned about the drunk superman part — is this a negative aspect on a living person, because the sculptor is still alive?
:::* Interesting enough
:::* Hook is in the article and cited (although implicitly)
:::* Neutral
::* Content:
:::* Lede is doing OK. Almost all leads (except Blue Roof) is cited; probably it shouldn't be cited as it serves as a summary for the content, but that's a personal preference I think.
:::* Articles could benefit from images of the building — although I'm not sure if there is FOP in Zimbabwe
:::* Unpaywalled sources have been checked and verified – all good
::* QPQ: done
::* Image: none

:* 16px Concerns about hook length and the drunk superman part. If the issues are resolved, I would give green tick. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 01:50, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
::*{{ping|Jeromi Mikhael}} There's no BLP issue as Mugabe is dead. Futhermore, under rule C3 of WP:DYKSG, it says that any bolded article links after the first one don't count towards the character count. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:59, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
:::* {{re|The C of E}} Wait, Mugabe is dead? Ok then. The character should also be ok. Here's a tick. Congratulations! 16px 10px Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 17:01, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
