The biggest issue is inadequate citations. There are currently 20 "citation needed" tags (full disclosure: I added most of them). Another major issue is outdated information. For example, the sexual orientation/gender identity section cites a 2006 study. Is this the most recent data available for this, and is this data still true? Another example: the transportation section states "In 2015, 15.2 percent of Atlanta households lacked a car, and increased slightly to 16.4 percent in 2016. The national average is 8.7 percent in 2016. Atlanta averaged 1.31 cars per household in 2016, compared to a national average of 1.8." Is this the most recent data for this? There are also a few inconsistencies. For example, the economy section states the city's GDP is $385 billion, which is inconsistent with the $406 billion figure in the lead. That being said, this article was first promoted to GA status more than 13 years ago, and a lot has changed since then. I feel like this current meets the standards of a B-class article, but it shouldn't be much harder to get it back to GA status. Bneu2013 (talk) 02:58, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to boldly close this discussion, as no one has shown interest in improving the issues I raised, and none of the major of contributors have made many edits to this page in years. Bneu2013 (talk) 04:08, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
