Rediffusion House

"PM stops demolition of broadcasting houses". Times of Malta.)
 * ALT1:... that Rediffusion House (pictured) in Malta cannot be used for immoral activities?

Television Malta.)
 * ALT2:... that Rediffusion House (pictured) in Malta underwent a multi-million euro renovation just four years after it was set to be demolished? Sources: [in 2008] "The fate of PBS's iconic Television House and Rediffusion House will be under review today as the Malta Environment and Planning Authority (Mepa) is scheduled to decide whether to have the structures demolished to be redeveloped into the broadcaster's new headquarters and apartments." (Micallef, Mark (24 April 2008). "Broadcasting landmarks may be demolished".

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article creation date versus filing date okay. Article length well more than required.  Article sourcing and neutrality are good and several spot-checks show no indication of copyvio's.  QPQ done with some diligence.  Image licensing okay.  All three hooks have verified online sourcing, are neutral, and are well within the length limit.  ALT1 is definitely the hookiest so I would go with that.


 * Nice article overall. Only suggestion for improvement that comes to mind is a little more on how PBS uses it now, after the restoration was done.  What are the creative activities that take place there?   Wasted Time R (talk) 15:13, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
