5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 19:13, 6 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/New York City Center; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Recently expanded fivefolds, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. The hooks are sourced and interesting. The images, both here and in the article, are free and clear. Just waiting for QPQ and other possible hooks. Corachow (talk) 11:48, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Corachow: Thank you for the review and for your patience. I have now done a QPQ and proposed a few other hooks. Epicgenius (talk) 23:56, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
  - Thank you. AGF tick as one of the sources here is offline. As someone who wrote several articles about the New York City Ballet, I obviously think ALT7 is the most interesting (I don't like the phrasing of ALT6). I also like ALT3 through 5. ALT0 to 2 are interesting but doesn't tell us a lot about the purpose of the building. I think when people see "City Center" they don't immediately think of a theatre. But that's just me nitpicking. I'll let the reviewer decide which hook to use. Corachow (talk) 00:59, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
