Unfortunately, this article is currently too far from the GA criteria for a full review:
- The article is insufficiently broad in its coverage. While History of the Jews in Spain is hatnoted, very little backstory is given in the article proper, meaning a non-specialist reader has little context for important events like the 1492 exile and the antisemitism of Francoism. Missing elements include discussion of the building's design and architecture, how many people attend the synagogue (a number is given for the size of Madrid's Jewish community in total, but not this), and the specific community it serves (e.g. what movement? the synagogue being Orthodox is only mentioned in passing at the very end of the article).
- Information is given in a decontextualized proseline format, rather than a coherent narrative.
- The sources are hard to follow; for instance, no language information is given despite them being in at least three languages. They're also all FUTON sources -- for a subject like this, it's very worth searching archives and other sources that might not be easily available, as surprisingly little 20th-century information is archived on the web. The Wikipedia Library might be useful to help find routes for expansion.
