Overall: @Epicgenius: Great article! I'm gonna have to assume good faith on the offline and paywalled sources but the article is great regardless. In this situation though, this nomination falls under converted from redirect rather than 5x expanded since this article was a redirect beforehand.

@Onegreatjoke: Thanks for the review. The reason I nominated this as a fivefold expansion is because I actually split a paragraph of content out from the Bowery Savings Bank article and expanded it about 25 times over. Honestly that's my fault, as I did not make this clear, but since the page is long enough in any case, that is no longer an issue. Epicgenius (talk) 16:00, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
