nothing in the article to confirm this will happen, still appears to be planning issues with lead saying the project facing a planning enquiry and licencing difficulties.[4] the section on Recent history also doesnt confirm that work is going ahead. Gnangarra 08:06, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- OK, how about a change to "could be turned into" or similar? This is appropriate as the company still own the building and are pursuing avenues to make it happen. Rcsprinter123 (spill beans) 11:05, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- Yes that would work as long as its not a definite. Also, planned or proposed would work as well. Just put an alt the you think works best. Gnangarra 11:17, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see the hook fact in the article. In 2014 Wetherspoons tried to acquire it for a pub but failed; now they are applying to turn it into a hotel, which is not "a Wetherspoons". There is also close paraphrasing in this source (Leeds Civic Trust). Yoninah (talk) 00:17, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Yoninah: I would say that a Wetherspoon-brand hotel, the bar of which can still be used as a pub by the general public, is good enough to call it a Wetherspoons, as the public do, especially for the brief language used for a DYK hook. If I work on the paraphrased parts from LCT - difficult because I don't know how you could rephrase those few parts that match, as they are basic facts about the building and using different words and sentence structures for the sake of it would affect clarity and conciseness - are we OK to go?

- Yoninah: Reduced the paraphrasing now. Rcsprinter123 (confide) 21:11, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
