Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk) and Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 13:25, 25 April 2018 (UTC).

  • Article was promoted to GA status within the last seven days, has no copyvio issues and is over the required length. The hook is interesting and supported by reliable sources. Once a QPQ review is added, this one is ready to go. Kosack (talk) 05:33, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
@Kosack: Thanks for the review. I have done a QPQ. epicgenius (talk) 19:18, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Hook is good to go. Kosack (talk)
  • Kosack, there are two hooks here: the initial one, and ALT1. Which hook are you approving? Please specify, or if it's both, make that clear in a comment below. Please also remember to substitute the icon below, and to include a timestamp in your sig. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:39, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
Both hooks are approved and meet the criteria. Kosack (talk) 17:00, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
@Epicgenius and Kew Gardens 613: Would you wish that an image go along with the hook? The hook is interesting but an illustration of how high the station is (and the fact that it's an above-ground subway station in the first place) would make it even better in my opinion.

@Narutolovehinata5: How about this image? epicgenius (talk) 13:03, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
That should do it. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:39, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
