Specific comments

 * The lead is extremely short: it should be 2-3 paragraphs for an article of this length.
 * — change "is" to "was".
 * Under "Modern history", "Jones" should not be in bold.
 * The "Tourism" section appears to be completely unsourced.
 * A large portion of the "Local government" section appears to be unsourced, as is the last paragraph in "Demographics".
 * The article is not neutral, containing passages like:
 * Places listed under the "Tourism" section shouldn't be in bold.
 * The education system in Banton is not even mentioned.
 * Why was the location originally called "Banton"?
 * Does Banton have a coat of arms?
 * "Copra" should be linked.
 * The article contains few references.
 * Things in the infobox like the demonym of "Bantoanon" are unsourced.

The article is also very small compared to other GA geography articles. See, for example, Chiprovtsi for a good municipality article.

Fail for GA: This article currently does not meet the GA criteria. — Bilorv (talk)(contribs) 19:58, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
