The article has some issues which prevent it from meeting the GA criteria. For instance, much of the content lacks a source.

Awkward phrasings, minor POV phrasings, and grammar errors are common:

"the British Adele"
"You can also buy a "Kölsch" key for your computer keyboard in Cologne to exchange it for the Alt key"
"Its transformation into elegant promenades"
"Johann Cornelius Bergrath, contradicted an advertisement in the Kölnischer Stadtboten"
"Düsseldorf painter Peter Janssen the Elder created a catchy image for the founding myth of the city of Düsseldorf"
"This rivalry, although celebrated as "enmity" folkloristic on a sporting and cultural level, is based on historical and economic facts."

Article has german-language text. It shouldn't, see MOS:FOREIGNQUOTE. (t · c) buidhe 01:51, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Buidhe, thanks for the review although I would appreciate at least a ping if you have reviewed my GA nomination. Secondly it is very clear that an article about a rivalry of two german cities has german language in it, MOS:FOREIGNQUOTE seem somewhat awkward - anyway it needs a CE indeed.
