This is a quick fail, I’m afraid. The nominator should work to address these issues, with the involvement of regular contributors to the article. A discussion should take place on the article's talk page, before a renomination is made. Best wishes Mertbiol (talk) 05:50, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * There are numerous maintenance templates: six "citation needed" tags and a "not verified in body" tag.
 * Several subsections are entirely unreferenced, (including "Indigenous peoples", "Siege of Petersburg", "Economy", "Transportation").
 * Per MOS:LEDE, the lead section is too long - "no more than four well-composed paragraphs" is the recommended length.
 * Per MOS:LINKONCE, other articles should only be linked once in the main body text (e.g. Richmond, Norfolk, Elizabeth River, Kentucky, tobacco, Brown & Williamson
 * User:HelpMyUnbelief appears not to have edited the article at all. Regular editors of the article were not consulted before the nomination was made.
