b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- The biggest problem with this page is the lack of reliable sources, and the improper formatting of the references that do exist. Entire sections, including Demographics and Culture and recreation, go entirely unreferenced. As I mentioned, most of the current citations need to be filled out with author/publisher information, and unreliable sources such as MySpace need to be replaced.
- Demographics was filled in by a bot. It's all sourced by the first reference in that section. I intend to rewrite it. I agree, the culture and recreation needs references, not sure if I'll rewrite it or not. I'll fill in publisher info today. The MySpace link is the official home page of the organization; there's not much I can do about there.

Given these issues, I don't believe this article can be improved to meet the criteria within a week, so unfortunately, I will have to fail its nomination. I appreciate the work you've done so far, and feel free to let me know if you need any help. –Juliancolton | Talk 16:23, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the GA review. I actually hadn't anticipated a review this quickly, especially since the last time I nominated an article for GA, it took about a month for someone to review it. With the current backlog, I expected the same thing to happen again. Needless to say, I wasn't completely finished with the article. I guess next time I'll hold off until it's full and ready. I'll try to make some changes per your suggestions this week. MahangaTalk 14:27, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
