Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Created by V.B.Speranza (talk). Self-nominated at 01:05, 28 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Nicolinas; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Sorry, I know you put a lot of work into this, but I'm leaning firmly towards oppose. There are significant WP:NPOV and slight WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH issues with the article (please read both of these links carefully). Quotes like "vibrant assembly", "reimagined the nomenclature", "With the passage of time, it became apparent that one day was not enough to celebrate St. Nicholas", and "People of all ages come together to joyously celebrate" are overly flowery, and sometimes unsourced.

It's not just in a few places, it's in almost every paragraph of the article. Addressing these issues would involve a significant rewrite, and also a change in your writing style entirely, which is not easy. I recommend the nomination be closed. I see it's also nominated for good article; as a heads up, reviewers will likely have the same feedback, and possibly quick fail it. Consider asking someone for tips on how to rework it, then renominating for good article, then doing a DYK after it passes. Hope this feedback is helpful, all the best. toobigtokale (talk) 04:07, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quick-failing this article, as it has tags on it (for promotional and fannish language) that are pretty clearly valid. Moreover, the nominator has done nothing to address these problems since the tags were added ten days ago, despite being warned by User:Toobigtokale that the nomination could fail if the article did not improve.
