Boston Bridge Works[edit]

I am nominating Boston Bridge Works as a featured list. Although the article is short, as there was not a lot of information about the company available, i believe it fits the criteria. Jake Jakubowski (Talk) 09:27, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-by comment

The left-aligned image at the very top of the article, causing pretty much the entire lead to be sandwiched, doesn't look great...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:15, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: Done. Thanks for the input. Jake Jakubowski (Talk) 08:58, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FOARP[edit]

This is essentially an article about the Boston Bridge Works company.
"was a popular engineering firm", "a popular bridge style of that period" - editorialising. If you mean the style was common, say that. Done
I'm not seeing WP:SIRS in the sourcing here. This is about a company, so the standard to be met is WP:CORP. I'm not sure how WP:AUD is met here.
Looking through the sources that, judging by the titles, are actually about the company, I'm not sure how these are WP:SIGCOV of the company. These appear to be short articles about the company in local newspapers covering WP:RUNOFTHEMILL stuff about the company. Not seeing WP:ORGDEPTH. FOARP (talk) 08:44, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@FOARP:Thanks for the input, I didn't realize that the list was in that much diss-repair. I am ok with a disapprove, and/or taking down the nomination. Unfortunately, there really isn't that much more info about the company out there. Thank you again! Jake Jakubowski (Talk) 09:00, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I don't think I can support this one without much better sourcing. We shouldn't be promoting articles to FL status that have big question marks about notability. FOARP (talk) 08:00, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Jake Jakubowski (Talk) 11:54, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
