5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 15:37, 10 November 2021 (UTC).[reply]

It is so exciting to see you expanding articles about NYC theaters. I created the List of Broadway Theaters as a pandemic project so I love seeing the things listed there getting more love. Review below:

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Long enough, new enough, earwig shows no copyvios, all three hooks cited and interesting. I personally prefer Alt 1. Just need a QPQ. As an aside the IBDB page for the theater may help you streamline some of your citations on the shows that the theater has hosted. Found5dollar (talk) 16:30, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Found5dollar: Thanks for your review. It's actually interesting that you mention the list of Broadway theaters because, in the longer term, I plan to expand most of the articles on current Broadway theaters, since they all have so much history. I have done a QPQ now. Epicgenius (talk) 14:08, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

all good to go!Found5dollar (talk) 15:20, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
