Created by Evrik (talk). Self-nominated at 00:55, 18 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Libredon; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • This meets most DYK requirements (date, size, neutrality, QPQ, refs, copyio check...). I just have one minor concern / question: is Libredon considered to be the grave of Saint James by everyone, or just some? I note that Libredon is not even mentioned at all in our article on James the Great. On a side note, I think we should link that Saint from the hook. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:54, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
  • @Piotrus: I'm not sure how to address the first point as this is part of a legend. I update the article on James. I updated the hook. I added the changes you recommended on the talk page. --evrik (talk) 03:20, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

"There is a belief that the location of the forest was located at the Oak grove of Santa Susana [gl], a hill in Santiago de Compostela that is part of the Parque da Alameda de Santiago de Compostela, between Paseo da Alameda and Paseo da Ferradura." – This statement is sourced to Santiago Turismo and Sociedad Española de la Camelia but I don't see any mentions of Libredón or the Apostle James in either webpage. Could you please clarify? Edge3 (talk) 17:06, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

I do think it's important to mention that this story is mythical, so I'm going to use ALT1: "... that according to legend, the tomb of the Apostle James was forgotten for eight centuries until found by the hermit Pelagius in the forest Libredón?" Edge3 (talk) 22:55, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
