Initial comments

 * The lead summarises the article well and complies per WP:LEAD, so it meets the GA criteria. I would suggest (if you plan on FACing this) to include a little more on its interior and type of celebrities who visited (like mentioned in the Waldorf lead), but it's fine for this GAN!
 * Have added to this. We hope (talk) 18:26, 17 February 2015 (UTC)


 * "just down the block from Billingsley's apartment" - this sounds a little informal (to me anyway), or is the term 'block' used in New York a lot? We don't use those words in ol' Hampshire!!
 * Changed this to just down the street We hope (talk) 16:33, 17 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Should Stork Club be italicised all the way throughout the article? It is in italics at the begenning of the lead and History section, but never again throughout
 * I think I've made this consistent. We hope (talk) 17:10, 17 February 2015 (UTC)


 * "Prohibition agents closed the original club on December 22, 1931, and it moved to East 51st Street for three years" - did the prohibition agents themselves move the club or did Billingsley? ✅ We hope (talk) 16:28, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * "City tax accountants soon investigated the Stork" - does 'the' need to be italicised here? It isn't called The Stork Club? ✅ We hope (talk) 17:10, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * "Billingsley's original plan for the Cub Room was for it to be a private place for playing gin rummy with his friends" - can this be linked? (If such an article exists) ✅ We hope (talk) 16:26, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * A little WP:OVERLINK in Clientele and image section, but it should be OK to let go as the majority of people listed there seem to be very notable
 * Have removed some double links. We hope (talk) 17:14, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

On hold
Sorry for the delay, it has never taken me this long to review an article as I have been having computer issues. Overall this is a well written article, I enjoyed reading it and that's the qualities of a Good Article. The comments I mentioned above were relatively minor, but I'll leave this on hold until all of the above can be addressed. Thanks! ☯ Jag  uar  ☯ 16:17, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Seems to have all been addressed by the good WH!♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:46, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
