Contested deletion
[edit]This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (Okay, so I'll admit that I made a few mistakes that I won't ever do again. I was really sleep deprived when I did these revisions, and now that I'm awake, I see what went wrong. That being said, I do not think Circle Tower should be removed outright given its significance to Indianapolis' past and its listing on the national register of historic places.) --Indiana6724 (talk) 12:08, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

- ... that the Circle Tower (pictured) in Indianapolis, Indiana is an Art Deco building which features ziggurat-like upper floors?
- ALT1: ... that the designers of the Circle Tower building (pictured) in Indianapolis, Indiana added ziggurat-like upper floors to bypass a 108 ft (33 m) height restriction? Source: The ziggurat-like upper stories receding from the outer facades in terraces... The solution, adopted by City ordinance... allowed a limit of 108 feet. The architects of Circle Tower were able to achieve a higher height for the tower building only by receding the stories above the 108 feet heigh
- ALT2: ... that the Art Deco style Circle Tower building (pictured) in Indianapolis, Indiana features Egyptian motifs? Source: The Art Deco details of Circle Tower include Egyptian-inspired figures. The building is known for having Egyptian motifs throughout, which comes from a nationwide obsession with all things Egyptian following the discovery of King Tutankhamen’s tomb in 1922.

Article is long enough, created within the window and generally in a good place. QPQ is done (I assume the one is good, even though there are two nominators). Images are all appropriately licensed and I can find no evidence of other plagiarism, copyvio or BLP issues. Would suggest linking art deco and ziggurat in the appropriate hooks, and "art-deco style" needs a hyphen in ALT2. Our own article also capitalises Art Deco, as does the main page for this one: would suggest doing so in the hooks. UndercoverClassicist T·C 06:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- @UndercoverClassicist: Thank you for reviewing! I have capitalized Art Deco and went without hyphens. I am going to skep adding extra links to the hooks. We have had discussions at WT:DYK about just having the article link. I also think readers will click and learn about these. Bruxton (talk) 05:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Happy to
Approve on that basis. Can't immediately find that discussion, but I don't think links in the hook are a make-or-break issue: if the promoter feels strongly enough about establishing a consistent style within the set, they can always adjust them. UndercoverClassicist T·C 06:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
