Review

• Since specific date of NYC Landmark designation is not mentioned in article, maybe include ref in infobox?
  •  Done Epicgenius (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
• "The third- through fifth-story facade contains intertwining vine and flower designs, which according to the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission may be poppies." This detail appears on the 5th page, not the 6th. Furthermore, the quote from that page is "intertwining vines and tulips", not poppies.
  •  Fixed Epicgenius (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
• "As of 2020, the storefront space is leased by jeweler Harry Winston." Maybe move this detail to History section, along with more details in that section of the building's current use and development in the last 20 years (history seems to stop at 2000)
  • Even though the facade still stands, the building technically doesn't exist anymore as the interiors were gutted in the late 1980s to make way for 712 Fifth Avenue. The history technically stopped at that date, but the 712 page has a bit more detail about what exists there now. The Bendel store closed in 2018 and Harry Winston leased the storefront in 2020, so I have added that. Epicgenius (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
• Title of ref 26 seems messed up (check to see what original title looks like, I can't see the ProQuest article)
  •  Fixed "Receives$220,000" was actually due to a kerning error in the original. I fixed it. Epicgenius (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
• Ref 42 could use author attribution
  •  Done Epicgenius (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
• Sources in Bibliography do not appear to be used; make this the Further reading section?
  •  Done Epicgenius (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
• (not very important) It would be helpful to elaborate what some of the myriad people/companies mentioned History do (like a few words before or after the mention should do)
  • Many of these mentions were already in the page. I added a few more (Harry Winston was already mentioned and linked in "Design" so I did not link it a second time). Epicgenius (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Judgement

Overall, article checks the requirements for GA, with minor prose issues and some questions on coverage and the sources. Putting on hold for 7 days. GeneralPoxter (talk • contribs) 21:20, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
