 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article elevated to GA status today. It is long enough, no copyvio, NPOV, and hooks are both interesting and correctly cited to RS. No image. Chetsford (talk) 21:51, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't find either hook hooky. I have no idea what Ninian Park is. When I looked at the article, the first thing that struck me was that the team used it for 99 years. To me, that's much hookier. Yoninah (talk) 19:54, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * so perhaps, Ninian Park was the home stadium of Cardiff City F.C. for 99 years? Kosack (talk) 20:30, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Better. Do you want to combine some hooks?
 * ALT3: ... that Ninian Park, the home stadium of Cardiff City F.C. for 99 years, was built on the site of a former rubbish tip? Yoninah (talk) 20:40, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that's a great addition. Thanks Kosack (talk) 21:28, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Do you mind adding an inline cite to the 99 years fact? Yoninah (talk) 21:46, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I've added a citation to the article, I'll place it HERE for any other editors to check. Kosack (talk) 21:54, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. ALT3 hook refs verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Chetsford. ALT3 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:57, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
