Draft talk:1300 New York Ave NW

Gurkubondinn mentioned the following source-text integrity concerns when nominating this for G15. I declined the deletion, but these do need to be addressed before this draft is accepted.

• Ref nr. 3 is just an assertion about Smith and Lincoln (would have made sense as footnote).
• Source to text issues, all are sourced to ref nr. 6; bulleted list
  • "ten-story structure had capacity for 1,200 automobiles across 20 parking levels" (source says 1300 cars)
  • "included an Amoco gas station, automobile repair shop, car wash, and retail space" (source does not mention "Amoco", repair shops, car washes or retail spaces)
  • "Designed in the Streamline Moderne style with Gothic Revival details" (not supported by source)
  • "concrete and granite façade featured seven-foot sculptures of winged wheels" (source only mentions a "concrete bas" and a singular sculpture of unspecified size)

Source to text issues like this are normally accepted as meeting the G15 criteria. Especially coupled with a CIRCULAR reference (that was demonstrably not even read). But I am fine with this draft being kept, but as it would need a TNT to be accepted into mainspace there is not much functional difference. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 18:41, 12 March 2026 (UTC) Reply
