- Not a review, but ALT0, while a catchy hook, is ineligible because the fact is not mentioned within the article for Naz Hall itself (and, beyond that, is not directly backed up by the included source). Leafy46 (talk) 15:58, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
Date, size, refs, neutrality, copyvio spotcheck, QPQ, all good. My concern is with the hook, which I find extremely bland. I am open to hearing that some finds it fascinating, but I have my reservations here. I think a much more interesting hook could be made from this fragment of the text: "This decision was negatively received by the clergy of the archdiocese, especially the perceived low sale price, which was seen as the seminary being "given away." The University of Northwestern presently uses the buildings for academic and administrative uses". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:21, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Piotrus, fair enough. How about ALT2: "... that the clergy of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis were upset about the sale of Nazareth Hall Preparatory Seminary after its closure in 1971?"
