Philip Livingston Magnet Academy

 * ... that within a few years of selling the former Philip Livingston Magnet Academy (pictured) to a developer who converted it into senior housing, the Albany, New York, school district found it needed space for a new middle school in that neighborhood?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg for alt0. The rest:
 * Alt1 Symbol voting keep.svg AGF on the police (that's in a segment of the book not included in the Google Books preview).
 * Alt2 Symbol delete vote.svg The article mentions all their appearances, but there's no one sentence that says "Amelia Earhart, Ted Shawn and Paul Robeson all appeared within 20 years" or similar
 * Alt3 Symbol voting keep.svg AGF, but not a very interesting hook in my opinion.
 * With the exception of Alt2, all hooks are present in the article and sourced to a reliable source. There are no obvious policy issues regarding BLP/NPOV/copyvio wtc. Fivefold expansion (and then some) confirmed (921 * 5 = 4605, article currently stands at over 27k characters). Nomination was prompt. Image is the nominator's own work and is appropriately licensed. My personal preference is for Alt 1. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  23:55, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
