Hi, I will be reviewing this article. To be honest, it feels odd seeing a Wikipedia article for a place that is very familiar to me. :D

First go

From a quick read, this article is very well-written and it is understandable to a general audience. Still, I found these two places confusing:

hybrid cooling fan With what is it a hybrid?
- The source isn't so clear tbh.--ZKang123 (talk) 05:02, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the station's green panelled interior resembled the trees of the beach and waves of the sea, Unless the interior was changed, shouldn't this be in present tense?
- Fixed that.--ZKang123 (talk) 05:02, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spotchecks

On 15 August 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Marine Parade station would be part of the proposed Thomson–East Coast line (TEL). The station would be constructed as part of Phase 4 (TEL4), consisting of eight stations from Tanjong Rhu to Bayshore. is verified by the source, but I do not see any mention of "phase 4" or "TEL4" in the document. I did find another source that places this MRT station as part of TEL4, so I recommend citing it as well.
- Found another source.--ZKang123 (talk) 08:32, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The contract for the design and construction of Marine Parade Station was awarded to Samsung C&T Corporation for S$555 million (US$404 million) in November 2015. is verified, but the source does not say that Samsung "designed" the station, only that it was given contract to "construct Marine Parade station and its associated tunnels".
- Removed "design"
The works included the construction of a drainage system spanning 800 metres (870 yd) and 1.936 km (1.203 mi) of bored tunnels Dead link, recommend archival.
- Running it through IABot
A groundbreaking ceremony for the TEL East Coast segment was held at the station site on 21 July 2016 ✓ Pass
With restrictions imposed on construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TEL4 completion date was pushed by a year to 2024 The source is a bit vague, but ✓ Pass.
the 2.2-metre (87 in) bronze sculpture is shaped like a block of plasticine, and it is placed outside the station to interact with commuters. ✓ Pass
Brought up in the Marine Parade neighbourhood, Ang intended for the work to be a playful tribute to the history of Marine Parade and those who lived in the area, while evoking childlike wonder and the delight of playful moments ✓ Pass
Like the other TEL4 stations, hybrid cooling fans at the platform complement the station's air-conditioning to improve air circulation yet lower energy consumption ✓ Pass. I would just removed the word "hybrid". It is buzzword-y and provides no detail.
- I still think it's a technical term. Like "hybrid cars" for example.--ZKang123 (talk) 08:32, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nitpick: replace www.lta.gov.sg into full name Land Transport Authority

Usually I would redo the source formatting at FA stage rather than GA. But will bear that in mind.--ZKang123 (talk) 08:32, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other criteria

No copyright violation detected in the spotchecks
Images appropriately licensed thanks to Singapore's Freedom of Paranoma
The article relies heavily on Governmental sources and The Straits Times but there is not much one can do for a such a new station. There is very little controversy or remarkable about the claims made in the article.
Article is stable
Illustrated excellently
It is broad in coverage; I could not find any additional major sources.
