I just see that rather recently Philip Hirschhorn (apparently felt there was still room to feel the need for and then) put a writeup of “a complete and careful proof” of the model structure on $Top$ on the preprint server:

• Philip Hirschhorn, The Quillen model structure on topological spaces (arXiv:1508.01942)

I have now added this pointer into our entry model structure on topological spaces.

That reminds me that this and related $n$Lab entries (also model structure on simplicial sets etc.) are not exactly shining examples of well laid-out entries. Nobody ever bothered to make them be more than a bunch of brief remarks.

I have a feeling that nice topological space is not the most effective link, and that convenient category of topological spaces would be better.

Ronnie Brown at one point wanted to duplicate a lot of the latter at the former, but I resisted the idea, one because there was already a dedicated entry, but also because there are many senses of “nice”, some of which we have recorded at the former. But it’s a bit of a grab bag.

Thanks for catching this. That part originates in revision 18 from March 2011. I went now and briefly adjusted the wording. The whole entry still deserves more cleaning-up though.
