| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Some of the ratios given seem to not be stated outright in sources, so this needs to be fixed to avoid original research. - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems: - The hook is a bit too much of a mouthful; I'd drop "ultra luxury" for not being NPOV as well.

- Thank you for the review. I went back and double check each one of those ratios listed on the article and found two ratios that were not explicitly stated on the sources, so I removed those two. The remaining ratios are explicitly stated each by the first inline citation after it. I added ALT1 to shorten it per your suggestion. I also used the Earwig tool for potential copyvio and it only listed things like building names, "skyscrapers", "slenderness ratio", etc. Not sure if a specific part that could present a concern, we can address that.

- @SounderBruce: I'm not sure what else we should do to improve the article to meet the standard for the DYK. Your inputs would be appreciated. Z22 (talk) 13:52, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry about the wait, I am extremely busy right now and have limited time to edit. All three of the hooks still aren't quite right, as they repeat "super" and don't flow well. I think you should take another shot at them. SounderBruce 05:36, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
