Seagram Building
- Nominator(s): Epicgenius ( talk) 17:39, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
This article is about a landmark International-style skyscraper in Manhattan, New York City, erected in the 1950s. As the name suggests, the building was erected for the Seagram Company and designed by several architects, most notably Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. This building's development was influenced by Phyllis Lambert, the daughter of Seagram's CEO at the time, who pushed for the building to be a New York City landmark in the 1970s and 1980s, and who even today maintains a connection with the building, over 60 years after its completion. It's been called one of "New York's most copied buildings" and, even before it became an official New York City landmark in 1989, had a large influence on other International style buildings.
This page was promoted as a Good Article a few months ago after a thorough GA review by GeneralPoxter and was recently copyedited through the GOCE. I am very grateful to Twofingered Typist of the GOCE, though he unfortunately passed away not long after he copyedited this page. I think it's up to FA quality now, and I look forward to all comments and feedback. Epicgenius ( talk) 17:39, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
Support from GeneralPoxter
I am happy to support this nomination per the diligent improvements made during my GA review (that was over-scrupulous for a GA in hindsight). I have been watching this article since its promotion, and haven't caught any changes that could have significantly compromised the article's quality.

Coordinator note
This has been open for three weeks and has only picked up a single general support. Unless it attracts further attention over the next four or five days I am afraid that it is liable to be archived. Gog the Mild ( talk) 19:12, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
