- ... that the Auckland meteorite (pictured) crashed through the roof of a house in New Zealand?

QPQ: 
- Not done
Overall: &sq=&lang=&file=File:Symbol_question.svg){kind=small}
New enough, long enough, sourced and neutral, Earwig detects no issues with the article. The photo is used, clear, and free. QPQ is needed, but also Panamitsu I'm very curious if we would be able to workshop the hook. In my opinion, there's some aspects of this meteorite that could make for something potentially more hook-ier. Namely:
- The sofa that was damaged by the meteorite being auctioned (same source mentions it's the only one that hit a house in NZ) [1]
- The meteorite being potentially thrown out [2]
- The meteorite being named as such because the street and post office names were already taken [3]
Perfectly fine if these angles are not interesting to you, but there are plenty to work with in this DYK and I felt eager to share my two cents. Ornithoptera (talk) 23:30, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Ornithoptera: I've added a QPQ now. Thanks for the suggestions. I think they require a bit too much context for a short DYK hook :) ―Panamitsu (talk) 00:29, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
I'll be honest with you, I disagree (the couch one is fairly easy to understand), but I won't dispute it. Seems like everything checks out then. Ornithoptera (talk) 00:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
