Style

 * Lead a little long for the length of the article
 * Lead generally well written, but phrase several stops and starts perhaps a bit too non-encyclopedic for GA (though this arguably a part that can be trimmed anyway)
 * Original station good
 * Question - are Spanish missionaries not titled 'Padre' (instead of 'Father')
 * El Garces subsection otherwise good
 * Restoration good
 * There were a few punctuation errors - resolved
 * Nice work!
 * Needs attention - lead length and question on terminology

Coverage

 * Some excessive coverage in the lead (also per style on MOS:LEADLENGTH) - there are some details that can be cut back to only the main overview. It's well written so I trust that editors/the nominator can identify places to trim effectively
 * Original station good
 * El Garces subsection good
 * Restoration good
 * The only section is on History, is there no other kind of coverage? Though legacy/impact seem to be incorporated into the history, I'd ask if there might be any appearances in popular culture, for example?
 * Needs attention - lead work and question on other potential

Illustration

 * All images on commons
 * Good infobox, and suitable use of the collapse for former services
 * Good use of images, fair amount for length of article
 * Pass

Neutrality

 * Fine
 * Pass

Verifiability

 * Sources good
 * Everything cited in line
 * Pass

Stability

 * History good
 * Pass

Copyright

 * No apparent copyvio
 * Commons images
 * Pass

Overall

 * on hold A few things, but a very nice article overall. Kingsif (talk) 07:23, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking the review! I combined a couple sentences in the lede, but I don't think there's much more than I can do without it missing out on major summary points. While it's a bit longer than typical for ~1000 words of main text, I don't think 11 sentences in 3 short paragraphs is disastrously long.


 * I changed Father to Padre to match the source. As for other sections, I don't think there's really anything else to add. Unlike some other stations I've brought to GA, there's not a complex platform configuration nor a laundry list of connecting services. Perhaps because of its remote location, I haven't seen any significant appearances in popular culture or so on. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:18, 17 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response, that makes it clear. I'll also note here that I saw the request for images on the talk page, but believe any more would be too saturated so I don't find that the images described would improve the article. Bearing in mind, happy to pass this. Symbol support vote.svg Kingsif (talk) 05:37, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
