Stowe Gardens
Temple of British Worthies (front)
- ... that the tomb of a greyhound called Signor Fido lies behind the Temple of British Worthies (pictured) at Stowe Gardens? Source: "By 1734 the niche at the back of the Temple of British Worthies housed a long inscription to a pious Italian, Signor Fido, who had come to England and in his old age had retired to house of a clergyman in the country (perhaps Rev. Conway Rand of Stowe). This faithful friend, agreeable companion and loving husband was, according to the last line, a grey-hound."

Lajmmoore, this is an interesting article, but unfortunately it does not qualify as a new article, because its text was spun off from a pre-existing article (see WP:DYKCRIT). DYK has a lot of small print, so I would recommend rereading WP:DYK. TSventon (talk) 14:49, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks TSventon, I had looked for terms like "article splitting" in the rules, not the more generic wording. Never mind. If it became promoted to GA, would/could it be eligible? Many thanks for taking the time Lajmmoore (talk) 18:23, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Lajmmoore: Hmmm. While there's no rule specifically against that, I would probably IAR decline any article that was GA nommed immediately after its split. But if the split weighs in at, say, C-class, and is then improved to GA with original work, that's totally fine. Alternatively, the article can be 5x expanded with original work, but I doubt that's in the question. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 19:23, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
