Further improvements for GA status
This article can still be further improved for it to be of GA standard. Will get to it soon. In the meantime, any form of assistance or suggestions from editors are greatly appreciated.

Based on other articles on sub-division level territories, such as Hong Kong, Sabah and Sarawak, the content on NGOs, military installations, galleries and even the state's firsts are not an absolute requirement for a GA. Vnonymous (talk) 10:58, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

"international honour" section is mostly all bad
The "International honor and utilities" section is mostly, but not entirely, terrible. Most entries are low-effort tourist pablum list-of entries from random newspapers, websites, and magazines. These "list of places with the best street food" or "best places to retire that you've never heard of" listicles are throwaway filler that newspapers pad their pages with to sell travel ads. There's no honor to be had from being listed there, and none of these entries should be listed here. They are factually and encyclopedically worthless. But there's a few entries in this list that are notable - really the two UNESCO entries. That's all, really. And neither has a reference. I'm inclined to just remove all the rest, source the UNESCO ones, and I think the article would be entirely the better for it. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 20:02, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

GA review invalidated
The GA review in 2018 was conducted by User:Semi-auto, a sockpuppet of the nominator, User:Vnonymous. Because self-reviews of nominations are not allowed at GAN, the original review has been invalidated and the GA status stripped from the article. This does not prevent the article from being nominated again at some point in the future, and an independent GA review being conducted at that time. (Discussion about this was brought to ANI, and also at WT:GAN.) BlueMoonset (talk) 01:47, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

IPA needed?
It looks like the oral spelling of Penang could be in different targets, some call it Pen-ang and some Pe(e)-nang. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:04, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
