 * Symbol question.svg It's a GA. Prose is more than 1500 characters. It seems neutral, cites sources and the three spot-checks I did were free of intellectual property concerns. No other policy concerns. The hook is a bit dull and the Bath stone assertion is not supported by a source, and after ten minutes Googling I can't find a source. Most of Bath's grand Georgian buildings employ Bath stone - so it's probably true, though. I think a hook saying it was mentioned in one Dickens and two Jane Austen novels may pull in more interest. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 18:14, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

 * ALT1 ... that the Bath Assembly Rooms featured in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and Persuasion and Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers?
 * Symbol voting keep.svg ALT1 checks out (it's in the article and in the cited sources). My limited review of other aspects of the article did not identify any issues, but I'm AGF-ing Cwmhiraeth's review. --Orlady (talk) 04:07, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
