I do not think the 2010 Times Square car bombing attempt needs its own subsection, as it was defused before any damage was done and doesn't necessarily involve the building itself. I removed a top-level section about this subject in January, citing the policy WP:NOTNEWS, since the attempted bombing occurred 12 years ago.
Today, an IP editor re-added the section. I think the re-addition is coincidental since the text is substantially different than what was removed in January. I removed the subsection but was reverted. I still do not believe the subject needs its own subsection or section, per WP:NOTNEWS, but I do see the point of including a sentence or two about it. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:19, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Epicgenius, you are very close to having this article pass GA. I just have some notes here, please let me know when done.

Please run [this script] and fix some of the duplicate links per MOS:DUPLINK. Some examples are Broadway, Palladium Times Square, Minskoff Theatre, Ben Schlanger, Sam Minskoff and Sons.
Reference 99 has pp 721,722. Now as a lawyer in Australia, this is actually correct for my citation style. 721-722 is however I think the MOS here? Please check and get back to me on if you think this complies.
I have had some feedback that the article is technical, but I think it is fine myself. If you think there are any areas you could make your language read more easily, please fix these.
Thanks Epicgenius, it has so far been a real pleasure making your article my very first GA review. I appreciate your patience while I sought some assistance from an experienced reviewer. Looking forward to passing this for you. MaxnaCarta (talk) 10:10, 9 June 2022 (UTC) 

@Epicgenius please can you confirm you are aware of this feedback? And ETA on when it can be addressed? Thanks! MaxnaCarta (talk) 08:15, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
@Epicgenius in the interests of closing this off, I made the adjustments myself but please do continue to watch the article and improve it so that one day perhaps it can reached featured status. Congratulations! it will be listed as GA shortly.
@MaxnaCarta: Thanks for the review. Unfortunately I didn't see the feedback until you pinged me (since I received the ping at about 4:00 am NYC time, I didn't see it until now). I think your changes are all good. Epicgenius (talk) 13:08, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
@Epicgenius all good, I’m in Australia. Nice to meet you. MaxnaCarta (talk) 19:49, 10 June 2022 (UTC)


### Criteria
In the event that SL Green/Caesar’s wins their bid to convert the property into a casino hotel, a decision will need to be made in regard to whether or not a separate article should be made for Caesar’s Palace Times Square or if this page should simply change its t name with a separate article on the history of this building will be created. As of now, I have included relevant information about the casino resort proposal, but things may change later this year. --NevadaExpert (talk) 13:39, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

@NevadaExpert, there are two options that I can see here. If the casino conversion goes through and if it occupies the whole building, we should rename the article but keep everything on one page, since we typically don't have separate articles about buildings and their histories. If the casino occupies only part of the building, it may be preferable to spin off the casino details into a new article. Epicgenius (talk) 13:59, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Good points. From the way it looks, the entire building would be a hotel casino if they win this bid and the conversion happens. It’s 54 stories tall, so it is logical that 950 rooms (like it has been claimed it will have) would occupy those floors above the casino. This is why I bring all this up because there are a lot of details and history included on this page. Regardless, this whole process is very fluid so we will need to wait and see how this all plays out. NevadaExpert (talk) 14:52, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
