- Comment: For ALT0, the image shouldn't be used as it would ruin the surprise of the hook. I can propose more hooks if needed.

Approving ALT0 and ALT1 only. Article is new enough (submitted within 5 days of moving into mainspace) and more than long enough (10967 characters). Well sourced, copyvio unlikely, neutral tone. Article is tidy. QPQ is done. ALT0 and ALT1 check out and are approved; please note nominator's request to only use the image (which is suitable and correctly licensed) if you are selecting the ALT1. (ALT2 and ALT3 don't seem quite right if they are only sourced to the NYT article. Seems like reading too much into a brief mention; associations are usually more than one person; and it's probably not uncommon for historical districts to be established to deter crime among other reasons.) Nice article. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:35, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
