A fact from Herron Gymnasium appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 October 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Checks of Refs 3, 7 and 13 show they back up the article's content.
Spotting a few web and book references you might be able to use as well [1][2][3][4]
It is broad in its coverage:

The lead should more completely summarize the article, maybe a few more sentences of content on the subject.
I have expanded the lead, hope it is adequate.
What was John W. Herron's profession or notability? Considering he's the namesake, makes sense to know this.
He was a Cincinnati judge and the president of Miami's board of trustees. This is in the article, but I will make it more evident.
The article needs some more information on the physical details of the building. How large was it? How tall? Where was it located?
I'm not sure information on the dimensions is readily available but I will add the location.
Any details on what it was built from or who built it?
Likely built from red brick as that is what most old Miami buildings were but I don't know if this is verifiable. From the sources you provided I can add a little bit of information about the architect.
Maybe some context for the building's role. Was this the school's only gym when it was built or were there others? What happened with enrollment in this time that caused the building not to be usable as some other kind of building?
I have added that it was the first gym and that the construction of new gyms was what caused it to change roles.
Great. Most of my above comments have been addressed as much as can be possible. I'll note based on these recommendations, the nominator has added 1.8K bytes of new content to the page. Based on these, I see nothing else holding it up from the GA criteria. Pass for the GA Nomination. —Ed!(talk)23:07, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
