- Note - Your prior nom is also missing the second of its QPQs. I didn't pull it from a queue as the missing QPQ is not a substantive issue however I would ask that you do two QPQs for this nom as but for that oversight your prior nom would not have been promoted.

- Length, Date, Cite, and Earwigs check and the image is freely licensed. Once the QPQs are done this hook should be good to go. Mifter (talk) 05:34, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Mifter: Thanks for the part review. I will do two reviews then. epicgenius (talk) 20:21, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- The second hook makes no sense. A jagged edge at right angles would have the same window area as a building with a square cross-section, for the same reasons as Manhattan distance. It does increase the window area to floor space ratio, though, and it does have more window area than a pentagonal building, but to be meaningful the hook still needs to specify what the window area is being increased over.

- Upon further inspection, the cited source says "extra window exposure" and that the building has 28 sides, but not that there are more windows. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 06:21, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
- Seeing that ALT1 makes no sense anyway, how about this and @Antony-22:, nice use of "Manhattan distance" by the way, given that Trump's presence forces people in Manhattan to go an extra distance to avoid traffic near Trump Tower: epicgenius (talk) 17:44, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

- I'm not sure that "window exposure" is a term that actually has a meaning. Better to focus on ALT0, in my opinion. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 00:32, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
- I thought ALT0 was better anyway. That was interesting to me at least. epicgenius (talk) 01:48, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
