Commonname?[edit]
At WP:RMT, BilCat brought up the fact that "1271 Avenue of the Americas" may not be the WP:COMMONNAME. See Special:Permalink/744654367. Is "Time & Life Building" still the commonname despite the building apparently recently deemed not called this anymore? — Andy W. (talk) 16:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC) this will kakal
- Strike that, that sign is being removed, along with their renovations to the plaza space in front of the building. Notably, the signs pointing to the entrance say 1271 Avenue of the Americas. So I think the current title is fine. oknazevad (talk) 18:41, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Overall: I think the first hook is the best one: Marilyn Monroe is likely to attract the most attention. I have modified that hook slightly to disambiguate it. The article appears to be a candidate for Featured Article status. Bahnfrend (talk) 02:54, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
