Comment: The copyright violation check may be a false positive, since it appears the source copied from us.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Awaiting QPQ and resolution of the "from us" problem; should be okay otherwise. I definitely prefer ALT0 – too much information in ALT1. Will watch this to complete later. No Great Shaker (talk) 06:56, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@No Great Shaker: Thanks for the review. I have added a QPQ and reduced the overlap in phrasing. However, the site in question seems to be a junk/spam site for somewhere in India (which incidentally copied random text from the article), so I very highly suspect they copied from us. epicgenius (talk) 17:05, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Epicgenius, I've checked the QPQ. That site is probably a mirror of sorts – I had that happen to me a few months ago. Good luck. No Great Shaker (talk) 17:32, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can this nomination get a second review? Unfortunately, No Great Shaker seems to have retired. epicgenius (talk) 16:06, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Giving a second opinion here. I actually thought ALT1 is more interesting than ALT0 despite being longer, as being classified as a hotel seems more unusual than simply being a housing cooperative. I'm willing to overlook the copyright thing provided that it can be proven that it was the Indian spam site that copied from WP. A QPQ has been done, so the copyright thing is the last remaining issue. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:04, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Narutolovehinata5, thanks for the second opinion. I'd checked the site and it appeared to be SEO spamming. However, the current copyright violation check doesn't even include this site anymore, and the highest match is this source, where the overlap is mostly proper nouns and common phrases. epicgenius (talk) 05:04, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. I just reviewed the source for ALT1 and the information has been verified. It is also cited inline. Rest of the review per NGS, ALT1 is GTG. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:43, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
