- Comment: Article initially nominated for deletion. Article was expanded 5x times prior to October 9. Alternate hooks accepted.
5x expanded by MX (talk). Self-nominated at 14:29, 10 October 2017 (UTC).
This is a prime example of an article that should never have gone to AfD and which has since been improved substantially by MX. Great job! It is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are sourced inline and the article is neutral. I do not speak Spanish well enough to check for copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:49, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I do think you can do better with this hook. If you could provide a cite for being "one of the largest construction firms in Mexico", I would suggest:
- ALT1: ... that Grupo Garza Ponce, now one of the largest construction firms in Mexico, had to change its business model every month during the 1982 debt crisis?
- Or:
- ALT2:
... that in 2013 Grupo Garza Ponce built the first Tadao Ando Japanese architecture construction in Mexico?Yoninah (talk) 23:47, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- I love ALT1! The "largest" claim is found in the last sentence of paragraph 2 of section "2011–2015". El Norte stated that Grupo Garza Ponce was the eighth largest construction firm in Mexico and one of the most important ones in northern Mexico (source: Grupo GP es la octava constructora más grande del País ... y una de las más importantes en el norte del País).

Great, I'm glad that's all sourced. Since I wrote ALT1, I'm calling on another reviewer to approve it. Pinging @Cwmhiraeth:. Yoninah (talk) 00:08, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Approving ALT1 which is well-cited. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:11, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
