New enough, more that long enough, very well cited. Does not need more hooks! ~~Requires QPQ to go~~. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:55, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Maury Markowitz: Thanks for the review. I have done a QPQ. Epicgenius (talk) 17:09, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rename page to address[edit]

Since this is now a location of the company Found Study and not a DoubleTree, this page could use a rename, I suggest "569 Lexington Avenue" 174.251.64.29 (talk) 21:14, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
