This article is new enough and long enough. The image does not appear in the article, which makes it ineligible for DYK, @Pi.1415926535:, you can add it if you wish. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:29, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done Swapped the image into the article. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:42, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The image can now be used as it is present in the article and suitably licensed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:36, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote this, but footnote 4 does not adequately verify this sentence: The new brutalist headhouse, near the middle of the station, was designed by Josep Lluís Sert as part of a project for a never-built Catholic chapel nearby. There is nothing in the source about brutalist architecture or the chapel never being built. The hook fact, that the entrance was designed to match the chapel, is not mentioned or sourced in the article. Yoninah (talk) 17:27, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can always omit the "never-built" from the hook if you want, or replace it with "planned", but I don't see any other problems with the hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:50, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. But the sentence in the article needs better verification. Yoninah (talk) 18:52, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah and Cwmhiraeth: I've added a citation for the chapel never being built, and removed "brutalist" as it's not entirely clear whether this is brutalism or closely-related modernism. I've also adjusted the hook to reflect that the headhouse was designed as part of the chapel project, not necessarily to match it. I believe this addresses the issues raised. I'm still waiting on some requested offline sources to clarify the architectural style and so on, but hopefully this is sufficient for now. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:40, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:00, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
