I am starting a review of this article. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 00:51, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review discussion[edit]

This article seems a bit sparse and spotty. I think that the main editor has done a good job based on the sources that they have found. This main root cause is that right now it has no sources that provide substantial coverage of the topic. The sources are just brief listings, mentions, registration forms and sources not about the bridge which support other statements which are not about the bridge. I'm thinking that it is current borderline on meeting wp:notability....I don't want to go there, but with even that being a question in my mind, I would not be able to pass it as a GA in its current state. Could find a source that really discusses it? Even a newspaper article? I am open to conversation, or waiting for a few weeks, (if I get some response within a week). Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 02:03, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK I've waited 13 days and no response. I am forced to non-pass this article for the discussed reasons. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 13:49, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GA criteria final checklist[edit]
