I'd never heard of this tube station before, despite having travelled on this section of the Piccadilly Line more times than I can remember. So this will be an interesting review:

  • I'm not sure what specific relevance the fictional tube map has to this section
  • Most of this section resembles a bulleted list without the bullets. This probably wants reworking into prose.
    • I have consolidated this section a little bit
  • The mention of Neverwhere is quite short - could it at least be expanded to explain the role the station played?
    • It's many, many years since I saw the series, but a perusal of online versions of the novel based on the series (probably not copyfree) indicate it is the entrance to a labyrinth. I have added a brief explanation of this. The places in the series are inspired by the real-life locations, but are rather different from them. --DavidCane (talk) 18:29, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the mention of Vauxhall Cross is a little off topic and there's no concrete tie-up between that fictional station and this one. Not sure if this should stay in the article.
  • The sentence on Shadow Man looks like trivia, especially as it cites a fan's YouTube video. I'd remove this.
    • I agree the citation is not strong and only part of the section of the game has any real resemblance to an underground station, but it does show the station was an inspiration in the game. There is a similar citation in the Aldwych tube station article for its usage in a Tomb Raider video game.--DavidCane (talk) 18:29, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, it's unorthodox and I'm concerned what the exact copyright status is of a fan video of a modified video game but since it has been accepted for an FA I will assume good faith that it's acceptable. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:35, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

[edit]
No problem. Everything has been done so I can now pass this. Good to see another tube GA in the can. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:35, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again Ritchie. On the issue of the Shadowman video, I think it should be acceptable as it shows game play, which I don't see as being problematic copyright wise.--DavidCane (talk) 22:18, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
