Result: Delist Sourcing and prose issues still remain Aircorn (talk) 09:50, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

It has 44 citation needed templates. This does not meet the WP:GA requirements. There might be more issues, but this alone is enough to delist it. PhotographyEdits (talk) 20:14, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

• Comment It looks like one user added 50 citation needed templates in 3 minutes on December 16th, 2020, taking the count from 4 to 54. That is a serious bit of tag bombing and 50 in 3 minutes does not suggest a lot of thought was put into these tags. Yet some of these tags are warranted, so a review is reasonable. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 11:10, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
• Comment The prose needs some work too. Pinging Feezo who got it to GA status. Aircorn (talk) 23:25, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
