  • Created on 23 January and nominated three days later.
  • Prose length is fine; rated at Start-class.
  • Sources are good quality and reliable.
  • I couldn't get into reference [1] because of restrictions on my work PC, but most of the facts in the article are also supported by one or more of the other references. I am satisfied there are no significant gaps in the article.
  • Both hooks are supported, although strictly speaking the West German prize mentioned in ALT1 relates to a competition for Berlin city centre specifically. Whether this needs to be made clear in the hook is debatable.
  • When promoting, I would suggest tweaking the wording in both hooks as follows: ...to design the East Berlin Stalinallee → ...to design Stalinallee in East Berlin.
