Overall: @ GMH Melbourne: The info from ALT0 does not currently occur in the article, and with your above comment, I would go for ALT1 instead. However, that hook should be trimmed down a bit, since it exceeds the 200-character limit and is quite a mouthful. Consider the following:
Additionally, the distance and colour of the image make the subject hard to discern at 100px. If you really want to have a photo for the hook, you should use that from 2019. Otherwise, I feel like it could be left out entirely. Regards, IceWelder [ ✉] 10:14, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Mostly, this article is quite good. Very well writtten, no sourcing or copyright issues, good images. But where this article falls short is the length of the article. At 490 words, it is quite small for a good article. Obviously, very short good articles are a thing, but there are major components that the article is missing. There was a very large controversy regarding the demolition of the paper mill, yet it is not mentioned at all in the article. Google 'Alphington Paper Mill' and you will find loads of articles that could easily be incorporated into the article as sources. There is also no detail about any of the history of the mill's operations, bar the short 'Incidents' section. There has to be something interesting that happened in the mill's nearly 100 years of operation that can be sourced and added to the article. This feels like an article that has been rushed to GAN without doing proper research or due diligence before nominating. Before renominating, I would encourage this article to be expanded to be at least 700 words long, ideally 900-1100. JML1148 ( talk | contribs) 04:46, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
