Splitting into two articles

[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result of this discussion was to split into three articles. WikiRedactor (talk) 21:51, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Does it make sense to split this article into two pages for the old and new buildings respectively? 74.64.122.27 (talk) 15:51, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sure that would be the best thing to do, since the new building is arguably more significant and I think a combination article would be quite long once the new building is finished. --Galebazz (talk) 18:25, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, I think we should split this page. Actually, I believe we should split this page into three: Hotel Marguery, what was originally the Union Carbide Building, and the new JPMorgan headquarters. The hotel is not relevant to the other two topics aside from the fact that it occupies the same site. The Union Carbide Building similarly has a distinct history and architecture from the new tower, and that is the topic of the interwiki links, so that building should remain the topic for the present article. The new headquarters should be split into another article. The only issue is what to name the page about the new headquarters, since we cannot have two articles with the same name, unless the Union Carbide article is called "270 Park Avenue (1960–2019)" or something.

I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:56, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sources are reliable.

  • The image File:270 Park Avenue Photomontage.jpg says it's a derivative work of this, but there seems to be no resemblance between the two.
  • "The Union Carbide Building received mixed criticism during its existence." Don't you mean "mixed reception" -- i.e. some praise and some criticism? "Mixed criticism" means various kinds of criticism.
  • Suggest redlinking General Bronze; I get 93 hits in the NYT alone.
  • "The site of the plaza was supposed to be part of a northward extension of Vanderbilt Avenue to 49th Street, which the New York Central Railroad had built in 1913 but never deeded to the government of New York City": what had the railroad built in 1913? As written this says it was 49th Street, but that can't be right.
  • "Since there were only six platforms on the upper level that extended to 47th Street." Incomplete sentence.

Thanks for the comments @Mike Christie. I have addressed all of these issues now:
  • I removed the image.
  • I changed "mixed criticism" to "mixed reception". I was thinking of two things at once at the time: "criticism" and "mixed commentary", and I combined them.
  • The red link has been added.
  • I clarified that this refers to Vanderbilt Avenue.
  • The sentence has been corrected.
