Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 13:42, 28 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Borough Hall/Court Street station; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New enough, eligible due to Good Article status, QPQ done. I suggest ALT 4 for the hook, but omitting the word "city's" as that implies ALL subway lines whereas the article seems to indicate just the line passing through the station. Coretheapple (talk) 14:20, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
