I will be taking on the review for this city. It seems that there are an alarming amount of issues present such as citation needed tags. Unfortunately, there is plenty of unsourced and choppy areas of the article. As a result of the citation issues and structure of the article, I am closing the review as a Immediate ✗ Fail. Feel free to nominate this in the future, but honestly, this was a very premature nomination. Please read the GA criteria before nominating. The citation issues and tags should be an indication that the article is not ready for promotion. Thank you. AmericanAir88^(talk) 22:00, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
