Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 01:55, 30 November 2019 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

Looks good to go for ALT0 (the more interesting of the hooks) and ALT2. I can't approve ALT1, as the hook isn't in a single place and with a single set of citations. Sounder Bruce 06:36, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Empire Stores

I created Empire Stores not realizing this article had a section about Empire Stores already (thanks to Epicgenius). This quality article seems long enough to justify moving some content over to Empire Stores, but I'd prefer Epicgenius to help make that call, if interested. I've also redirected Time Out Market New York to Empire Stores, for now, but a standalone page might be possible if there's enough coverage specifically about the market, like Time Out Market Lisboa. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:49, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for forking over content, Epicgenius. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:28, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tobacco Warehouse

Is the Tobacco Warehouse independently notable? If so, we might consider forking content over to Tobacco Warehouse and then (given the above section) summarize info about Empire Stores and Tobacco Warehouse within Brooklyn_Bridge_Park#Empire–Fulton_Ferry, rather than having separate subsections for each. Thoughts? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:53, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
