I'd love to see a topic this major get to GA, but this seems to be a driveby nomination of an article that still has a ways to go to meet the criteria. The full criteria are at WP:GA?, but a few issues I see at a glance:


 * The lead doesn't appear to summarize all parts of the article per WP:LEAD, and contains important information not in the article (the rush hour stat).
 * Whole sections appear to lack inline citations, including some stats like "Webb Pierce was the top-charting country artist of the 1950s, with 13 of his singles spending 113 weeks at number one." and mildly interpretative material like "backlash as well as traditional artists such as Ray Price, Marty Robbins, and Johnny Horton began to shift the industry away from the rock n' roll influences of the mid-1950s" or "There is also a thriving country community in the province of Quebec."

Thanks to everybody who's worked on this one to get to this point--I hope this can serve as a prod to bring this the rest of the way to GA, where it would be a sure winner of a Half Million Award at least! -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:54, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
