Failed "good article" nomination[edit]

This article has failed its Good article nomination. This is how the article, as of January 10, 2023, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Several issues with prose, not to mention multiple areas lacking citations.
2. Verifiable?: At least one unreliable source tag, and several areas with no citations, plus multiple dead links as citations.
3. Broad in coverage?: Think we are generally in OK shape here.
4. Neutral point of view?: I do not see anything glaring, but have not fully evaluated this criterion.
5. Stable?: Okay here.
6. Images?: I have not fully evaluated this criterion.

I'm afraid this is going to be a quickfail. The article is not at all ready for GAN. I see a citation needed tag, an unreliable source tag, a full citation needed tag, and multiple paragraphs with no citations. Please address these issues, and the unresolved issues from Talk:New Jersey Turnpike/GA3, before renominating.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:34, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know this nomination has been failed already, but I do not think the article is broad in coverage, either. There is more that can be said about the turnpike's history between the 1950s and the 1990s. The first six paragraphs of the "2000s to present" section are longer than the "1950s to 1990s" section, and they contain a lot of detail that may be excessive. The "In popular culture" may contain indiscriminate, trivial mentions, and many of the entries are unsourced. If I had seen this nomination sooner, I would have recommended that it be withdrawn, because many of the issues mentioned in GA3 have not been addressed adequately. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:35, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
