@Ktin: New enough and long enough; appeared at Recent Deaths. QPQ pending. As it stands, this page does not mention Expo 86, and "expo lands" doesn't lead anywhere in an article. The reference isn't even included. If this information is included in the article, all that would be left is QPQ. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:12, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0a: ... that Canadian architect Barry Downs contributed to the redevelopment of the Expo 86 site in Vancouver, the largest private development in North America at the time?

Acknowledging this message @Sammi Brie:. A tad busy today at work. Will address this later tonight. Prelim read says ALT0a looks good. But, I will come back and address the other comments. Ktin (talk) 15:54, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ktin: It's been a week since nomination. Please provide a QPQ. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 16:28, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ Added. Passing back to reviewer. PS: Narutolovehinata5, did we not discuss that we have a week from the review date? Your comment here a week after a review + a reminder. Did something change that you are now saying a week since nomination. As mentioned, my availability has been impacted with off-wiki commitments and I am doing my absolute best. Ktin (talk) 17:48, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sammi Brie Updated the text in the article as well. Please have a look at your convenience. I like ALT0a. Ktin (talk) 17:56, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was already a week since nomination on my end (it was the 28th locally when I sent my comment). Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 21:17, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Please use UTC from next time. To keep it simple all timestamps that you see here on Wikipedia are by default in UTC so you do not have to spend time in computation / conversion. Good luck. Ktin (talk) 21:34, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for ALT0a only. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:20, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
