Comments

Article does not meet GA criteria 1(b). The lead does not adequately summarize the article; Please refer to WP:LEAD. Secondly, it does not meet the WP:Layout guidelines with text formatting and images are all over the place. Article structure needs rework with many sections needing additional references and citations; references are not formatted properly. General information and characteristics are written like a tourist guide, not to mention a long list of tourist places, companies/industries and people. Only transport, economy and tourism seem to be developed and other sections need further development. Sections like education and healthcare need to provide real information and not list colleges/hospitals. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 17:18, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fail

Quick fail as this article needs lots of citations and reworking. It fails to meet GA criteria. Article has a scope to be promoted to GA if worked upon. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 17:18, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
