GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

"Good article" nomination hold

@Fluffy89502: Please follow GA review procedures, as you have somehow managed to review this without getting the bot to trigger an automated notice (in the future, use the "start review" button on WP:GAN or the talk page). A quick-fail should not be done without good reason, especially for an article of this length. As for your points: WP:LEADCITE states that citations do not need to be present in the lead, as it is solely there to repeat cited information from the body; and Google Maps (mostly through its satellite imagery) is considered a reliable source for basic location information, including city boundaries, nearby locales, and terrain. It is used by WP:USRD for many featured articles, which involves a more rigorous peer review than anything done at GAN. Again, please check before jumping the gun.

This review shows serious misunderstandings of policy and is disturbing. I would be tempted to just put it back in the queue and get another reviewer. --Rschen7754 00:54, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

@Fluffy89502: lead sections do not require citation unless there are direct quotations or information not present in the body of the article. I could name a handful of Featured Articles off the top of my head that lack citations in the lead, and yet FAs are held to more stringent standards than GAs.

As for citing Google Maps, again, I could name a handful of FAs off the top of my head that use it as a source, and yet FAs are held to more stringent standards than GAs. In short, please re-examine your review. Imzadi 1979 → 01:18, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
