 * Symbol confirmed.svg Everything checks out. Good hook as well.-- Giants27 ( T  |  C )  00:12, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Nearly half of the article is in effect a bio for Lee Gray Holden, which practically repeats similar content at Portland Fire Station No. 23. Without that, the article appears to fall short of the "1,500+ characters of prose" requirement.  --  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 07:17, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * p.s. perhaps Lee Gray Holden deserves an article of his own. --  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 07:21, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Those are fair points. Give me a day or two and I'll revise the article to fix those problems. Prioryman (talk) 08:53, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it took a bit longer than I'd expected (New Year!) but it's done now. See what you think. Prioryman (talk) 17:38, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg It now looks great and you have more than dealt with my points. I love the articles about the refurbishment of the property. They almost made me want to go back into business so that I could work from somewhere like that rather than offices above a grotty 1960s shopping precinct!  -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 20:07, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
