QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was created on August 22, and nominated two days later. Length and sourcing are adequate. The article appears neutral in tone, and no plagiarism concerns were found. No images are used in the article. The QPQ requirement is complete. The proposed hook is interesting, but I am unsure on its sourcing. As per WP:DYKCRIT there must be a citation directly following the sentence(s) which support the hook. Also, the article does not use the word "boosted", but the hook does. More similar wording would be helpful to verify. Overall, the article is well written and a welcome contribution to Wikipedia. Flibirigit (talk) 21:43, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

@Flibirigit: This is confusing to me; the hook is cited in the article? This design was widely publicized into architectural press, and resulted in a number of higher-profile commissions for his firm, especially with educational institutions.[5], with a citation to Houser, as is linked here. And there's no requirement hooks be identical to the article body; I feel "boosted" is a perfectly fine summary of "resulted in a number of higher-profile commissions for his firm".

The proposed hook is supported by two consecutive sentences, not just one sentence as quoted above. Specifically, the name of the magazine and a new building are both mentioned in a sentence without a citation. Both sentences require a citation as per WP:DYKCRIT. The wording "boosted his career" is subjective, and differs from the article which states "resulted in a number of higher-profile commissions". Receiving more commissions does not necessarily mean "boosting" one's career. This will be likely be challenged at WP:ERRORS. Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 13:43, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
