DYK? edit

@Another Believer: Now that this article has been promoted to GA, I think it would be nice to nominate it for DYK. Is that fine for you? Armadillopteryx 06:40, 11 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Armadillopteryx, after the green, it's the blue circle on the hunt! Although after reading it several times, I am unable to find any interesting possible hooks. I know it's just there somewhere... GeraldWL (Pine wish!) 06:49, 11 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Gerald Waldo Luis: Au contraire! We've got a venue name that doubles as a common English-language term. Wordplay options abound. Armadillopteryx 07:00, 11 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • ... that Industry replaced a parking garage? Source: "... the 'raw, sexy space' will be turned into something so innovative you'll forget it was a parking garage." ([1])
    • ALT1:... that Industry faces Therapy? Source: "The bar is on the first floor of a Bauhaus-style office building on West 52nd Street, across from another gay bar, Therapy." ([2])

  • Comment: I am unable to review this since I am reviewing two GA nominations. However looking at the first hook, I think we can have an image of the front entrance. That way, it'll be like ...that Industry (pictured) replaced a parking garage? and then readers would look at the front entrance and be like: This used to be a parking garage?

    I think the fun/quirkiness of the first hook rests on the fact that the reader doesn't know what "Industry" refers to, as that word has many possible meanings in English. But, yes, there are pictures available if helpful. Armadillopteryx 18:27, 12 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
  •   GA received within 7 days of nomination. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Images are freely licensed. QPQ done.
  • IMO this is not an AFD hook. The first hook is much too ambiguous, and the ALT1 makes a good quirky for all year. Besides, the high school humor and sex jokes will probably take over the AFD section as usual. I am approving ALT1, hook ref verified and cited inline.
