Reviewing. Bagsy the review, which will follow shortly. Cielquiparle (talk) 14:31, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fun read! Article is long enough, new enough (submitted within 5 days from start of 5x expansion), well sourced, no copyvio issues, neutral. QPQ still pending. Comment on hooks is as follows: Original hook and ALT1 are fine...but the cat hooks have SO MUCH POTENTIAL...any chance you could come up with more...and/or with a twist? Otherwise personally I like ALT4 and ALT5 for the connection to the hotel's rich cultural history. ALT3 is the sleeper to me, the others are OK.

Thanks for the review, I appreciate it. I'll come up with some hooks later (most likely when I get around to doing the QPQ, which I should be able to do within the next two days). Epicgenius (talk) 23:03, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Cielquiparle: Sorry for the delay. I have now done a QPQ and proposed two additional hooks, but I can propose more hooks if it's necessary. Epicgenius (talk) 15:21, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Approved! Good to go. Thanks for adding more cat hooks (and QPQ)! All the hooks are fine, and I'm sure the promoter will have fun choosing one, but personally my favorites are either one of the cat hooks (ALT9, ALT10, ALT1, ALT0) or one of the cultural history hooks (ALT4 or ALT5).
