 * Symbol voting keep.svg
 * The article is newly written.
 * The article has not previously featured on the Main Page.
 * The article is long enough.
 * Citations are sufficient and drawn from reliable published sources of an academic nature.
 * No disputes surround the article.
 * I see nothing that might be construed as a BLP violation.
 * I can find no particular issues with plagiarism. I assume the wording is original.
 * I see no neutrality issues, either. This is a straightforward account.
 * The article is not up for AfD.
 * The sources are generally behind a paywall, although one of them does mention the 219 number. For the remainder, I assume good faith as to the hook. - Biruitorul Talk 04:08, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

 * ... that after members of the Artists Union occupied the New York Federal Art Project offices in 1936, police detained 219 of them, heretofore the largest-ever arrest in the city?
