  • The article is new enough, having been created yesterday, March 16th. It easily meets the length criteria, and it follows Wikipedia policy. The first hook is good. I'd suggest not using the second hook in its present form, because it is not easy to figure out precisely what these "vestiges" are. If the second hook were modified, perhaps mentioning the orchestra pit converted into bookshelves, then this one would be fine too. QPQ is satisfied. There are sufficient citations, including references that support book both hooks. No inline references are included in the lead, but everything mentioned there is referenced later in the article, so I think this is OK. OtterAM (talk) 14:41, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
  • @OtterAM: thank you for the review! I also like the first hook. If an image hook is needed, though, here is a rewrite of the second hook. The picture caption describing the orchestra pit works on its own, being indirectly mentioned in the hook:
  • ALT1a: ... that in 2006 the Bonfils Memorial Theatre in Denver was converted into a Tattered Cover bookstore (pictured)? Yoninah (talk) 18:07, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
  • Yes, this alternate hook would work fine too. OtterAM (talk) 12:04, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
